Renowned Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer, author or editor of more than 40 books about the 16th president, explores the connection many American have felt—both real and imagined, political and emotional—to Abraham Lincoln.  Regardless of party, presidents, from Grant to Theodore Roosevelt to Wilson to FDR, Kennedy, Nixon, Bush, Clinton, and Obama, have  identified with Lincoln and sought to consecrate their own policies with his imagined blessing, sometimes inspiringly, sometimes ludicrously. How and why Lincoln remains the universal ideal to his successors is the subject of this talk and Q&A.

This program is made possible with a grant from Connecticut Humanities.
