Inscription on the Liberty Bell

In 1752, the Pennsylvania State Assembly ordered a steeple bell for the statehouse to include the inscription proclaiming “Liberty throughout all the land.”

The Liberty Bell at Philadelphia’s Independence Hall has become an icon of American history and independence. But did you know that in 2013, The Providence Forum commissioned a full-scale replica of the famed Liberty Bell for Museum of the Bible. It stands six feet tall and weighs 3,200 pounds.

The peal of the bell is in E-flat, the same key as its original. The Liberty Bell became the first exhibit to be installed at Museum of the Bible in 2017. Emblazoned on the Liberty Bell are the same words that appear on the original from Leviticus 25:10: “Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.”

America's Liberty Bell Museum

This is the Liberty Bell Museum located right across the stree from Pennsylvania's State House also known as Independence Hall in the historic section of Philadelphia, PA. Admision to the Liberty Bell Museum as well as Independence Hall is free curtisy of the US National Park Service. I learned quite a bit about the bell that wasn,t taught in school. The most interesting thing was when I learned what the number 7 meant when Allen Sheppard named his capsule Liberty Bell 7. I never understood what the number 7 meant until I saw the short presentation on the history of the bell at the museam. Turns out that it came from World War 2, when the US would broadcast programs over the Armed Forces Radio Network from Independence Hall. They would close out each broadcast with seven strokes from the Liberty Bell. That was a recording of Franklin Delanor Roosevelt (FDR) striking the bell seven times with a wooden mallet.

Some Philadelphia History...

It's amazing to learn about history while in the process of making history. I was very inspired by the Liberty Bell and I think Occupy needs to build a liberty bell. :)

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
