Justice Bell 2020 has announced its “Let Justice Ring” video contest to help celebrate the upcoming Justice Bell 2020 Women’s Suffrage Centennial Celebration (which will be held August 25-26 as the Justice Bell makes its ceremonious journey from its home at Washington Memorial Chapel, Valley Forge Park to Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia).

As part of the “Let Justice Ring” video contest, participants will be asked to submit a short (five minutes or less) video on the theme of women’s suffrage about women’s freedom and the significance of the Justice Bell.

The Justice Bell, also known as the “Women’s Liberty Bell,” is the most pivotal symbol in women’s rights history. Commissioned by Katharine Wentworth Ruschenberger of Strafford, Chester County, PA in 1915, the Justice Bell (housed at Washington Memorial Chapel in Valley Forge) is a replica of the Liberty Bell and was transported throughout the country to rally votes for women’s right to vote.
