This morning I offered some of my thoughts on the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address. Here is a roundup of some of the other commentary out there today:
Allen Guelzo, “Lincoln’s Sound Bite“
Heather Cox Richardson at the blog of the Historical Society
Eric Foner on NPR
Tommy Kidd at The Anxious Bench
Huge forum at The New Republic. Sean Wilentz has a long piece and Michael Kazin, Henry Louis Gates Jr. and others respond. (repost from 2009).
Ken Burns wants us to “Learn the Address.”
The Gettysburg Address: A Graphic Adaptation
Stephen Prothero at Religion & Politics
The Atlantic: “The Gettysburg Address as a Powerpoint”
Daniel Dreisbach on the “sacred sounds” of the Gettysburg Address
John — That “huge forum” at tnr.com is a reposting. It originally appeared in 2009.
Best, Michael
Woops! Thanks.
