INDE’s Public Affairs Office receives one of the highest number of requests and issues, about 100 First Amendment permits each year to groups with a wide variety of views. In addition, the park hosts some of the highest profile First Amendment Activities in the national park system. Two prominent historical First Amendment Activities showcased the fight for African American civil rights on a national stage. The annual wreath-laying ceremonies at the Liberty Bell for National Freedom Day (1942 – present) and sit-ins at the Liberty Bell in Independence Hall in 1963 and 1965. These civil rights activities as well as others resulted in INDE’s nomination and listing on the African American Civil Rights Network.
