ABSTRACT
Liberty is on a US National Monument, including the nearby Ellis Island, the National Museum of Immigration. Liberty is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site – a World Heritage nomination for Ellis Island is pending and is expected to be accepted. Consequently, Liberty has great significance as a site of cultural heritage in the US and beyond. Liberty itself is an attractive adult woman, who is of average build and of European appearance. Although it’s in New York, Liberty lies not far off the shoreline of Jersey City, in the exposed Lower New York Harbor. The upper half of the pedestal also has, at the fourth level, porches on all four elevations behind tall three-bay colonnades, and level six has doors to an observation deck. At the time of the author interview with John, learning strategies for developing inclusive capital at Liberty were at a more developed stage than its approaches to bonding.
