Description
"The bell was built to honor the workers of the Manhattan Project, to commemorate 50th birthday of Oak Ridge and to become a symbol and everlasting monument for the peace. The bell is for everyone, the young and the old. I feel something very special about this town, the town born of war, living for peace and growing through science.”-- Shikego Yoshino Uppuluri, letter to editor of The Oak Ridger, August 7, 1995.
On March 4, 1996, the bell was trucked from the municipal building to the incomplete pavilion in A.K. Bissell Park, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
On the day of the photo, a Japanese family was visiting the pavilion. The children were much too young to fully realize the significance of the bell.
