In one of my travels, I got the chance to walk through Battery Park in NYC and I was gladly surprised by these fascinating statues. Searching about its history I found some facts related to “the immigrant’s statues”.
“Sculptor Luis Sanguino (b. 1934) celebrates the diversity of New York City and the struggle of immigrants in this heroic-sized bronze figural group. The sculpture depicts figures of various ethnic groups and eras, including an Eastern European Jew, a freed African slave, a priest, and a worker. The figures’ expressive poses emphasize the struggle and toil inherent in the experience of the immigrant or dislocated person”. Source: The Battery
