The International Friendship Bell in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, stands as a testament to the city's unique history, commemorating the contributions of Manhattan Project workers while symbolizing a commitment to peace and international friendship, particularly with Japan. Built to honor the 50th anniversary of Oak Ridge, the bell serves as an everlasting monument advocating for freedom, well-being, justice, and peace for all people worldwide.

This bell represents both a historical reflection on the impact of nuclear technology and a hopeful vision for the future, uniting individuals across generations and cultures. The City Council of Oak Ridge envisions the bell as a focal point for community tradition, reinforcing the shared yearning for a world free from nuclear weapons through daily rituals and pilgrimages by visitors.
