The Liberty Bell

Here is today’s featured photo presentation of LEGO® United States Monuments as presented at the LEGO® Brand celebrates American icons, Americana Roadshow at the Orland Square Mall back in the vintage days the early 1980’s, in order to let Fall 2024 REALLY shine. This photo set is the LEGO® rendition of the Liberty Bell.

☼HISTORY:  The real Liberty Bell is at 526 Market St, Philadelphia, PA. The Liberty Bell, an iconic symbol of freedom, was rung on July 8, 1776, summoning the citizens of Philadelphia to hear the Declaration of Independence. It was ordered in 1751 to honor the 50-year anniversary of Pennsylvania’s Constitution, reflecting values of religious freedom and citizen inclusion promoted by William Penn. The Bell became a symbol of abolitionist efforts to end slavery throughout America. The inscription, “Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land,” highlighted the Bell’s significance. Despite various cracks, the Bell rang for the last time in 1846, rendering it unringable. The name “Liberty Bell” was given by abolitionists referencing its inscription. The Bell’s history includes stories of doubt and resolve, with a fictional account depicting a bellman waiting for Congress to declare Independence. The Abolitionists interpreted the Bell as a symbol of freedom, echoing the Biblical concept of jubilee and the liberation of slaves. The Bell’s history reflects a country torn by fissures of freedom and resonates with the struggle for equality.
