If you’re lucky enough to have Monday off work, head to the National Portrait Gallery for the Abraham Lincoln symposium. From 9 a.m. – noon scholars will deliver four lectures that will examine various aspects of Lincoln and his times.
The speakers and topics are David C. Ward, the exhibition curator on “‘Vaulting Ambition’: Lincoln’s Self-Fashioning,” Alexander Nemerov on “The Flame of Lincoln,” Michael E. McGerr on “The Embarrassment of Lincoln’s Nationalism” and Marcia Brennan on “Tragic Dreams and Spectral Doubles: The Metaphysical Lincoln.”
The symposium is free and open to the public.
