The Guardian of the Red Disk
Spoken by a Citizen of Malta--1300

An ancient narrative of oppression—the singling out of the weaker, the smaller, the other, for persecution—continues to replay itself throughout history, into the present. The poem, by Emma Lazarus, is a witness to cruelty, interpreted now as a political statement exposing the consequences of intolerance.
