Posted by Morocco at March 4, 2014

Avril 1865. Une poignée de Républicains ardents admirateurs de la démocratie américaine se réunissent à Glatigny pour célébrer l'abolition de l'esclavage aux États-Unis et rendre hommage au président Lincoln, assassiné six jours auparavant. Un dîner lors duquel Édouard de Laboulaye, le politicien à l'origine de cette réunion discrète, évoque avec passion l'idée d'une statue colossale, symbole de liberté, comme cadeau de la France à l'Amérique. Un discours exalté qui subjugue un jeune sculpteur présent parmi les convives : Auguste Bartholdi. Le projet de la future Statue de la Liberté est né. Un chantier alors insensé auquel le statuaire natif de Colmar va consacrer vingt ans de sa vie, remuant ciel et terre de part et d'autre de l'Atlantique, pour permettre à sa Liberté éclairant le monde de dominer le port de New York le 28 octobre 1886.
