							Today, 
							on the 150th anniversary of his death, we remember 
							Abraham Lincoln, an honorable man who as our 16th 
							President kept our young nation from dividing and 
							brought greater awareness of equality between all 
							men. 
							Sacha Newley’s painting of Abraham Lincoln with the 
							Gettysburg Address integrated hangs in the Lincoln 
							Heritage Museum at Lincoln College.  
							 
							On Nov. 19, 1863, President Lincoln spoke for under 
							two minutes at the dedication of the Soldiers 
							National Cemetery in Gettysburg, a place for 
							soldiers that lost their lives in the Civil War 
							battle. The illustrative power of that Address has 
							made it one of the most noted and memorized pieces 
							of literature in American history.
