Upcoming Lincoln Bicentennial Webcasts

By Samuel P. Wheeler | February 10, 2009

I had a great time at the Chester Public Library yesterday! Thank you to everyone who made that event possible, including the people who asked such interesting questions at the end of the talk.

I want to pass along this note from the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library. They will be offering a couple of Bicentennial webcasts over the next few days:

February 10, 2009, 7 pm Central

THE LAST LINCOLN LECTURE

“The Lincolns’ Marriage,” provides the penetrating insights of poet and biographer Daniel Mark Epstein, author of The Lincolns: Portrait of a Marriage (Ballantine, 2008).

February 12, 2009, 9:30 am Central

SIMULTANEOUS READING OF THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS

The Four Score and Seven Project, a simultaneous reading of the Gettysburg Address on Abraham Lincoln’s 200th Birthday, will occur with over 325,000 school children in Illinois. Thanks to a generous grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, JP Morgan Chase, and the Chicago Community Trust and in partnership with the Illinois State Board of Education.
