Why Is Lincoln Still Relevant?

As the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln’s assassination approaches, Lincoln remains vital to today’s leading historians and scholars. Lucas E. Morel, Professor of Ethics and Politics, Washington and Lee University (editor, Lincoln and Liberty: Wisdom for the Ages), moderates a discussion with Richard Brookhiser (Founders’ Son: A Life of Abraham Lincoln) and David Reynolds (editor, Lincoln’s Selected Writings) about Lincoln’s life and legacy. Cosponsored by The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.
