My 101-second video of the Ghostlight Project, in which people gathered in theaters in all 50 states to create light for dark times ahead. I focus on the small, moving ceremony outside the Cherry Lane Theater in Greenwich Village, which ended with the recitation in both Spanish and English of “The New Colossus,” the Emma Lazarus poem (inscribed at the Statue of Liberty) that ends:

Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
