The Story Behind the Shirt
First sung by children in a Boston church, July 4, 1831. Samuel Francis Smith set new words to the melody of the British anthem, and until 1931 "America" served as the nation's unofficial anthem. It begins with a "sweet land of liberty" and ends in prayer to "our fathers' God," the "Author of liberty." The Liberty Bell carries Scripture too: "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land" (Leviticus 25:10). Neither forgets where freedom comes from.
On the back: the cracked Liberty Bell in fine engraving, hanging from its wooden yoke in a red-and-gold arch of rays and scrollwork, above "LET FREEDOM RING" and "SWEET LAND OF LIBERTY." On the chest: the original 1765 A Co. mark in our founder's own hand. More patriotic shirts made in the USA.
