STOP 14 Center–3rd Floor The unfinished work Which of Lincoln’s words really sticks out for you? Why? Which image in the video is most powerful to you? Why? Did you know? We look to President Lincoln as one of the greatest orators in our history. Unlike almost all of our presidents in recent history, Lincoln wrote all of his own speeches. Also unlike today, Lincoln knew that most people would read his speeches rather than hear them (remember, there was no radio or television). His gift for language is one of the main reasons we revere him as one of our greatest leaders. Photo of Ford’s Theatre video wall © Maxwell MacKenzie.
