A mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face in shame was unveiled in Roubaix, France, one day before the United States celebrates Independence Day on July 4. The mural, titled “The Statue of Liberty’s Silent Protest,” was created by Dutch artist Judith de Leeuw, who painted the it over six days a building on Rue de Chemin-de-Fer. de Leeuw said the city of Roubaix "has a large migrant population, and many of them live in extremely difficult circumstances."
"The values that the statue once stood for—freedom, hope, the right to be yourself—have been lost for many,” she said.
The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to the U.S. and stands on Liberty Island in New York – nearby Ellis Island, which was a stop for immigrants making their way to New York in 19th and 20th centuries. Both make up a National Park.

@JoeBiden There are no words to express how much I respect Joe Biden. He is so unappreciated for all the things he has accomplished and I am grateful for all of his years of service to our country. I am sad in this moment and just wanted to say Thank You Joe Biden for everything!
