Just in time for Independence Day, America receives another Lady Liberty. It will sit on Ellis Island all next week before heading to the nation’s capital. “Little Sister” is what this second statue of liberty has been dubbed because it’s a replica of the main one, but much smaller – only 10 feet tall. Why does France keep sending us these statutes? New York University historian Edward Berenson explains the story behind the Little Sister. (AP Photo/Adam Hunger)
