What does it say on the statue of libertys tablet?

Answer 1

There are two tablets on the Statue of Liberty to which you could be referring. The one inside the pedestal contains the famous Sonnet, The New Colossus, written by Emma Lazarus:

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!"

The other one, held in Liberty's hand, contains the date of American independence in Roman numerals:

JULY

IV
