The Liberty Bell, an enduring symbol of American independence, carries with it stories of silent struggles and enduring hope. While its iconic crack is well-known, the bell's role in the abolitionist movement is a narrative less frequently told. Abolitionists adopted the bell as a symbol of their cause, resonating with their fight for freedom and equality.
