At Wit's End By Erma Bombeck Statue Only A Symbol; People Make Freedom Tomorrow, the entire world will focus on a 151-foot statue of a woman who, 100 years ago, became the symbolic mother of exiles.

Like most symbols, she is trapped in the silence of concrete, her eyes without sight, her ears without sound and her lips without voice. She does what she is supposed to and make sure her lamp is lit. But how far can her lamp shed its light? Could it extend to a Mexican border where a woman crawled through a barbed wire fence during her final hours of labor so her child could be born American or did the woman lie under a desert shrub alone in the darkness and pray? Could a porch light have been substituted the night a girl was being beaten and raped in a suburb and blinds were pulled and ears were deaf to her screams because they fear getting involved. And she died in the blackness of night. Could the torch have illuminated a child's life by the giving of extra time to help when he fell behind in his studies? Or did he just flounder and drown in a sea of darkness through the cracks of the system never to surface again.
