A Homeless Man Serves The Homeless in Los Angeles

This week The L.A. times featured Ray Polk, a one-man social agency, offering food, clothes, and counseling to his fellow denizens of the streets of Los Angeles, and, he has also created a memorial to those who have died.

Liberty For All?

“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-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Excerpt  from “The New Colossus” by Emma Lazarus

Engraved on a bronze tablet within the pedestal on which stands the Statue of Liberty.
