What if the pivotal re-election of Abraham Lincoln in 1864 was filled with more drama and strategy than a political thriller?

Join us as we unravel the layers of Lincoln’s campaign, marked by the profound challenges of preserving the Union during the Civil War some 160 years ago.

We reflect on how Lincoln's indomitable spirit and strategic moves, such as backing General Grant and leveraging General Sherman's capture of Atlanta, secured his political triumph. Drawing from Charles Bracelen Flood's "1864: Lincoln at the Gates of History,"  we explore the human side of Lincoln, detailing his personal losses and resilience. His journey reminds us of the enduring fight for justice and equality, a legacy that would inspire future leaders like Martin Luther King Jr.

Join us for an exploration of Lincoln’s legacy, as relevant today as it was back then, in shaping a more perfect union.
