- Interesting artifact! President Lyndon B Johnson's signing speech at the Statue of Liberty (Oct. 3 1965)
- President Johnson emphasized that the law corrected "a cruel and enduring wrong" by ending discriminatory quotas. Symbolically signing the bill at the Statue of Liberty reinforced the idea that the US is a nation built by immigrants. His remarks framed the law as part of the broader Civil rights Movement, linking immigration reform to American ideals of equality and fairness.
