The annual Let Freedom Ring bell ringing ceremony was held Thursday morning at Patriot Park on the campus of University of the Cumberlands, where several dozen people were in attendance to celebrate Independence Day through a variety of patriotic songs and texts. The bell on UC’s campus, which is a replica of the Liberty Bell, was rung 13 times, once each for the 13 original colonies, which later became the 13 original states.
