SCLC #426 — New Freedom Bell Washington three ceremonies, July 1 1987
GPT-6 Sol: the New Freedom Bell’s July 1, 1987 Washington visit comprised three distinct ceremonies — 9 a.m. near the Capitol east front, noon at Western Plaza (police chief Maurice Turner pictured ringing), and later at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
The organizer reports two senators plus seventeen House members, not “30+ legislators” (its broader figure includes aides). “Opened the legislative agenda” is figurative, not a formal congressional act. Distinct from #423 Philadelphia endings, #424 Raleigh late-add, #425 Coretta Atlanta.
