Every gift grows Lincoln’s legacy!
In February 1861, during Abraham Lincoln's journey to Washington as president-elect, Lincoln stopped at Philadelphia’s Independence Hall, where the Declaration had been signed in 1776. In unprepared remarks, Lincoln said, "I have never had a feeling politically that did not spring from the sentiments embodied in the Declaration of Independence."
With your continued support, we have joined the nation in marking America’s 250th birthday this year. We launched our newest documentary series, “Conceived in Liberty: Lincoln and the American Experiment,” a key resource on the ideas, debates, and events that shaped Lincoln and that continue to shape America. Building off this successful series, a planned traveling exhibit, Conceived in Liberty: Lincoln and the Founders, received a competitive grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. And Board Member Sid Bala moderated a fireside chat at The Chicago Club with me and Illinois America 250 Commission Chair Gabe Lyon exploring how Lincoln’s legacy inspires civic engagement and leadership.
We remain at the forefront of national conversations about Lincoln’s legacy. As we all continue to mark the semiquincentennial in our own communities, your gift will help ensure that the Foundation’s award-winning projects reach a national audience.
Please make your tax-deductible gift to the annual fund campaign today. Together, we can continue to elevate Lincoln’s story within our national consciousness.
