Lincoln Bicentennial
Lincoln then, Lincoln now
The life of Abraham Lincoln illuminates significant themes of all American lives, past and present.
But what more is there to learn about our 16th president? What's left to unearth?
Through educational programs, public forums, and arts projects, the Lincoln Bicentennial provides an opportunity to re-examine what it means to be American in the 21st century. Join the University of Illinois, with individuals and organizations worldwide, in celebrating the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth, 1809-2009.
We continue the celebration with events, performances, projects, speakers, exhibits, classes and other learning activities - through April 2010.
