Let Freedom Ring

Let Freedom Ring is a monumental sculpture by Paul Ramírez Jonas, presented by the Association for Public Art at Cherry Street Pier in Philadelphia and coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This interactive bell tower plays the song “America (My Country, ‘Tis of Thee)” in its entirety except for the final note. Passersby are invited to complete the unfinished song by playing the final note on a 600-pound look-alike Liberty Bell, prompting them to reflect on for what and for whom they ring this bell of freedom.
