Milne Library Sets Program for Lincoln, Martin Luther King Day
03:53PM / Thursday, January 15, 2009
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Milne Public Library will celebrate Abraham Lincoln's 200th and Martin Luther King's 80th birthdays on Wednesday, Jan. 21, at 7 with the story of the Emancipation Proclamation.
Words can change the course of history and people's lives. In the case of the Emancipation Proclamation, perhaps no other words in American history changed so many lives so dramatically. It was not the most eloquent document that Lincoln wrote but many believe it was the most courageous. To this day, the document has conflicting historical and interpretive facets.
What was Lincoln's real intention? Did it really free millions of slaves? Robert Campanile will present historians' opinions and other perspectives of the words that so passionately moved the hearts and souls of a nation in the midst of a Civil War.
For further information, contact Pat McLeod, library director at 413-458-5369 or pmcleod@williamstown.net.
