Lincoln’s Legacy As a young man, Abraham Lincoln “feared of achieving nothing that would make men remember him.” Today, the 16th President tops the list of most influential – and most revered – Americans. Lincoln is commemorated in music, poetry, and sculpture. His words are quoted by poets and politicians. His face appears on stamps, coins, and currency. Mountains, cities, highways, and schools bearing his name dot the land. He felt his most enduring achievement was the Emancipation Proclamation – “the one thing that would make people remember that he had lived.” Indeed, Lincoln’s legacy is most alive in our continuous search for freedom, equality, and opportunity. (http://www.lincolnbicentennial.gov/lincolns-legacy/default.aspx) With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's |
wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for
his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and
cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all
nations. December 31st in History …. 1879 - Thomas Edison gave the first public demonstration of an electric incandescent lamp. 1938 - The first breath test for drivers, "drunkometer," was introduced in Indianapolis. 1946 - President Truman officially proclaimed the end of hostilities in World War II. 1961 - The Marshall Plan expired after distributing more than $12 billion in foreign aid. 1963 - Central African Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland was formally dissolved. 1964 - The al-Fatah guerrillas of Yasser Arafat launched their first terrorist raid on Israel. 1987 - Robert Mugabe sworn in as Zimbabwe's president. |
