From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
I don't know where else to look, but the Wikipedia article on the Statue of Liberty says nothing about it having been designed to look like a black woman. It does say that the proposed headwear--a pileus, the roman apparel to signify emancipation--was deemed too abolitionist by Secretary of War Jefferson Davis. This was the 1850s.
The broken chain at the foot of the statue would represent freedom no matter the race.
