Abraham Lincoln – A personal perspective of one of America’s Greatest Presidents 

In commemoration of Lincoln’s birth on Feb. 12th, 1809, Mr. Holden will give a special presentation with photos, Lincoln books, and objects about President Lincoln, his life and Presidency, ending in his tragic assassination in April of 1865.

Several movie clips will be shown demonstrating how we have come to look at this great man in so many different ways since the early 20th century.

We will also discuss why some statues of Lincoln have been attacked and defaced by ignorant, misguided, Americans.
