2022 Lincoln Legacy Lecture Workshop
The Center for Lincoln Studies at UIS is pleased to announce the second annual Lincoln Legacy Lecture Educator Workshop. The Center invites up to twenty K-12 social studies and preservice educators to participate in a 1 1/2 hour workshop on Lincoln and African-Americans at the UIS Student Union. Participants will work with professor Jonathan White to examine letters of African-Americans to Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. Prior to the workshop, they will receive a free copy of his newest book, To Address You as My Friend: African Americans’ Letters to Abraham Lincoln. The book is a remarkable new collection of over 120 letters that Professor White has discovered at the Library of Congress and the National Archives. Participants will be expected to read about 15 to 20 of the letters before the workshop.
