Small things can have big impact. Simple objects can become important symbols. At the African American Museum In Philadelphia, these Round "whispering bells of freedom" are a sculptural monument honoring Crispus Attucks, who was at the center of a confrontation with British soldiers in Boston while protesting conditions under the crown. Attucks was one of five killed on March 5, 1770 in what came to be known as the Boston Masscare and has been immortalized as “the first to defy, the first to die” in the earliest days of the American Revolution.
