Detailed Analysis:

• Claim:** The reopening of Ellis Island to the public during America's bicentennial year prompted Charles Kuralt to offer his thoughts on the Statue of Liberty.
  • Verification Source #N: *No direct verification of the reopening of Ellis Island in 1976 is provided in the sources.* Internal knowledge confirms that Ellis Island was partially opened in 1976, but not fully reopened to the public until later.
