African-American student, Justin O’Neil-Riley, helps discover the origins of the bell at his new high-school. With only a date and a name at hand, Justin delves into the archives with the help of his teacher, to discover that the bell was indeed a slave bell used on sugar plantations in Trinidad. In 2020, with the backdrop of the murder of George Floyd, the Belmont Hill School bell is removed.
