Happy Independence Day ā¤ļøš¤š
While in Philly last week for a conference, I slipped away for a few hours to explore some American history. Swipe ā”ļø
Pictured here are:
š Liberty Bell
š Independence Hall
(where the U.S. Constitution was signed)
Both are part of the nationalparkservice and FREE to all! š
Go late in the afternoon, like I did! There were NO LINES and I was only one of a few people on the tour through Independence Hall.
I really appreciated how these parks highlighted the progress made since 1776 - the work toward TRULY fulfilling the inscription on the Bell:
"Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants thereof"
The Bell became a major symbol for movements, such as Civil Rights and Women's Suffrage, to name a few... so many more, not only in the U.S. but also internationally, highlighted in the museum at the Liberty Bell.
Still work to be done in fulfilling the inscription šŖ
Love to ALL today on this Independence Day š
