What do you know about the Justice Bell?

 

Do you know about the Justice Bell?  This replica of the Liberty Bell was commissioned in 1915 by a woman from Chester County. This replica of one of the most beloved symbols of American freedom was a great way to draw attention--Pennsylvania's suffragists took it on tour around the state as they sought support in their battle for women's suffrage.

Holly Holst, a member of the Friends of the Conshohocken Free Library, created this video to help us all learn more about the Justice Bell, and has graciously given us permission to share it with you!
