This project will provide a broad forum for public discussion concerning community engagement with the legacies of Abraham Lincoln, to be convened in the Bicentennial year. Thse discussions will be convened in Pike County, Illinois, and will focus on the commitment to freedom in the past and present, efforts to achieve the unattained promises of democracy, and the heritage of social networks and communities in the 19th and 20th centuries shaped by the same challenges Lincoln confronted in his lifetime.
