What is written on lady liberty's tablet?

Answer 1

Try and do some basic research before asking. If you don't it makes you look like a noob. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Liberty#Physical_characteristics search the webpage for the word "tablet".

Answer 2

IV Juillet 1776 et XIV Julliet 1789 [the dates of the US and French revolutions]

The tablet in her hand shows the date of the United States Declaration of Independence, in roman numerals, July IV, MDCCLXXVI.

The interior of the pedestal contains a bronze plaque inscribed with the Sonnet "The New Colossus" by Emma Lezarus:

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Answer 3

The statue says: " Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearing to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Actually, that is a very nice poem by Emma Lazarus, but not on the tablet. IIRC, the tablet has the date of the American Revolution.
