Liberty Bell to Greet Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco
Philadelphia authorities vote to send the Liberty Bell to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. The bell will be displayed in the Pennsylvania State Building with ceremonies on July 4, drawing millions of visitors, including schoolchildren who petitioned for its move. The article recalls the bell’s long history from London casting to repeated recasts and seven prior journeys, noting its symbolic link from 1776 to 1915 and its role as a patriots’ emblem across the nation.
