Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Stupid isstru Minute. I'm your
Speaker 1: host Kept Pound. Today we're talking about the Liberty Bell.
Speaker 1: The Liberty Bell is one of America's most recognizable symbols,
Speaker 1: and it's famous for something that went wrong. Commissioned in
Speaker 1: seventeen fifty one by the Pennsylvania Assembly, the bell was
Speaker 1: cast at London's Whitechapel Bell Foundry. Unfortunately, it cracked during
Speaker 1: its very first test ring. Philadelphia metalworkers John Pass and
Speaker 1: John Stowe melted it down and recast it twice before
Speaker 1: getting it right. Years later, another crack appeared, eventually making
Speaker 1: the bell unusable. Today, the Liberty Bell still stands in
Speaker 1: Philadelphia as a symbol of freedom and independence, proving that
Speaker 1: even America's greatest icons don't have to be perfect. This
Speaker 1: has been the Stupid Histrum Minute, and I'm kept pounding.
