Introduction

The Liberty Bell, cast in the 18th century and famous for its crack, once hung by Independence Hall and rang at the adoption of the Declaration and Constitution; it later became a shared emblem of abolition, civil rights and independence. Housed free of charge in the Liberty Bell Center within Independence National Historical Park, its inscription—'Proclaim Liberty' (Leviticus 25:10)—makes it the most succinct credo of Philadelphia, and of America.
