Lifelong Learning Lecture: What Would Lincoln Do? Division in American Political Life

Sometimes it is easy to imagine the divisions in our nation’s political life are unprecedented; however, the nation has faced divisive times before and has found ways to address these divisions which have allowed the American republic to not only survive but thrive.

In this talk, we explore one of those moments of division and learn from the leadership of Abraham Lincoln in addressing, and ultimately resolving, the divisions of his time as a guide for solutions for ours.

Artist Talk: The Miniatures of Abraham Megerdichian

Join his son, Robert, for a presentation about his father’s fascinating life and art.

A selection of Abe’s over-400 objects will be on display at the Main Library February 15 - 27.
