The swastika was used as a symbol of divinity and spirituality in Indian religions. In the Western world, it was a symbol of auspiciousness and good luck, but the nazis used it as another symbol and today it is virtually forbidden to display.
Symbols change. If ancestors saw the image of Miss Liberty differently than we do today, then that image is expired and that memory is rendered to dust and ash with their bones and flesh. Millions of immigrants and Americans see Miss Liberty as a new symbol of a better life. Let it be.
Part of the process promoting some new agenda in America is to dismantle and revise her symbols. This can be applied to everything we revere as a symbol of all that is good, like a memorial to Thomas Jefferson or the Greek inspired architecture in our capital. Revisionists want to wipe these images clean like an Etch-A-Sketch. Replacing Hamilton on the ten dollar bill with a African slave, tarnishing the images of our founders, comparing Revolutionary War flags to swastikas are all happening now.
Our symbols are exactly what they were when they were conceived. Miss Liberty is a beacon of freedom. She no longer has anything to do with the ancient myth.

It can mean different things to different people. Just like Jesus can be defined in many ways.
