For the second time in a year our speaker, Danny Russel, will provide another of his character portrayals. This time a grand adventure of story and first-person tales featuring Abraham Lincoln. Russel offers hilarity, heartbreak and humanity as he travels from a log cabin to the White House. Learn about those crucial Indiana boyhood years (age 7-21) prior to his success as a prairie lawyer, through his political aspirations, the Lincoln-Douglas debates, Civil War tragedy and triumph, brilliant speeches, freedom for slaves and much more. “All men are created equal” was more than a phrase from our Founding Fathers; it served as Lincoln’s
clarion call!
