Independence National Historical Park will l be kicking off Black History Month by celebrating the 80th consecutive wreath laying at the Liberty Bell in honor of National Freedom Day.
In addition, this wreath laying will mark the opening of an exhibit in the Liberty Bell Center entitled "Freedom on Trial." This temporary exhibit explores how men, women, and children, escaping a life of enslavement, once faced legal hearings for their freedom inside Independence Hall - the same building where the Declaration of Independence was signed.
