2) It was... I'm not sure how to describe it.

It's (not) just an object. Doesn't mean what you think.

They have quotes on the walls, short exhibits on all the movements that the Liberty Bell has been a symbol for; "Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

Your country (my country) has been free for less than a hundred years.

The bell was made by hands like yours and mine, but is more; all these movements were started by people like you and me, but changed the world. And the Liberty Bell was a symbol for them, and here you are in a room with it. You're all connected. And you have responsibilities - to everyone. To the world. We, the people.
