Anyone from Philadelphia has been to see the Liberty Bell ... and anyone who has been to see the Liberty Bell has learned that, in its history, the Liberty Bell has actually stood for three different aspects of liberty:
First, as a general symbol of liberty, particularly the religious liberty granted under William Penn's Charter of Privileges ...
Second, liberation from slavery, when the bell was designated the "Liberty Bell," and adopted as a symbol of the abolition movement in the United States in the 1830s ...
Third, as a retrospective symbol of liberation from the tyranny of British imperial rule ...
Has the time come for Pennsylvanians to volunteer this potent symbol to be adopted once again ... as a symbol of liberation from the tyranny of drone killings and drone surveillance?Second, liberation from slavery, when the bell was designated the "Liberty Bell," and adopted as a symbol of the abolition movement in the United States in the 1830s ...
Third, as a retrospective symbol of liberation from the tyranny of British imperial rule ...
