Abraham Lincoln: A New Birth of Freedom

Abraham Lincoln will be here to speak of the history of the United States during his time, from his childhood to his position as president. For ages 8 to adult. Registration required.

Adults and children alike will enjoy hearing a first-hand account from Abraham Lincoln himself.  He will speak of the history of the United States of America during his time, from his childhood on the frontier to the twelve turbulent years from 1854 to 1865, which nearly destroyed our young nation but instead eventually resulted in a “new birth of freedom”.

Mr. Lincoln quotes from his best-known speeches and writings, and he also talks about his own inspiring story of how he rose from a humble background to the highest office in the land through self-study, hard work, ambition, and a strong moral character. This program is most appropriate for adults and for children from eight years old on up.  Registration required.

• Tuesday, October 21, 6:00pm - 7:30pm @ Delaware Main Library
• Wednesday, October 22, 6:00pm - 7:30pm @ Liberty Branch Library
