"Forever Free" Abraham Lincoln Exhibit
We are in the final countdown toward the arrival of the traveling exhibit, "Forever Free: Abraham Lincoln's Journey to Emancipation," which is scheduled to be on our campus from October 2-November 14. This is a panel exhibit of reproduced images from the Huntington Library and Gilder Lehrman Institute collections of historic documents, and its journey across the country with stops at 63 libraries is being funded by a major grant from NEH (National Endowment for the Humanities). More information about the exhibit is available at the ALA (American Library Association) website.
Because the Langston Hughes Memorial Library is currently closed for renovations, the exhibit will be held instead in the Fellowship Hall of our historic Mary Dod Brown Memorial Chapel, located directly across Maple Drive from our temporary library quarters, which cannot accommodate the 6-panel exhibit.
I will soon be posting more information about our opening event on October 2, but in the meantime, anyone seeking additional information should contact me directly at spevar@lincoln.edu.
