JULY 9
Enshrined on the green in Philadelphia where it faces Independence Hall is the beloved symbol of America's freedom, the Liberty Bell. In its brief service, it was wrung for joy and for sorrow. It pealed in celebration of the Declaration of Independence 1776, and it broke while mourning the passing of Chief Justice John Marshall in July 1835. Inscribed on its base is this Bible verse from Leviticus 25:10.
"Proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof."
