As the nation marks the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth on Feb. 12, we continue our focus on the 16th president. First, an encore presentation of the bicameral congressional celebration of Lincoln’s life held in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda and attended by President Obama. Historians Richard Norton Smith, Harold Holzer and Doris Kearns Goodwin are among the speakers honoring the man from Illinois. Later, an encore of the Abraham Lincoln Association birthday banquet in Springfield, Ill. -- Lincoln’s hometown -- which also featured President Obama.
