<human>:  What is the history of the Statue of Liberty?
<bot>: The Statue of Liberty is a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. It was a gift from France to the United States and was designed by French sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on October 28, 1886, by President Grover Cleveland, who proclaimed it a "noble expression of the nation's faith in liberty and democracy." The statue has become a beacon of hope for countless immigrants coming to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as for millions around the world who view it as a symbol of freedom and democracy. The Statue of Liberty still stands today, with her torch and tablet proudly welcoming people to the United States.
