“Let’s ring freedom bells!” was how President John F. Kennedy heralded the ringing of the bells nationwide on Independence Day, July 4, 1963. Carmella LaSpada, a former Kennedy White House staffer, is campaigning for that gesture to become a regular observance each Independence Day, and is calling for a nationwide ringing of bells at 2 p.m. each July 4.
