Retired RI Chief Justice Williams to speak on Lincoln

Forbes House Museum will host “Abraham Lincoln at 200,” a talk by Lincoln Historian and Rhode Island Chief Justice Frank Williams (ret.), on Sunday, 6 March 2011 at 4pm in the Exhibit Room at Forbes House Museum.

Chief Justice Williams will examine the Lincoln phenomenon as we conclude the bicentennial observance of his birth. Many revere President Lincoln for his political courage and effectiveness as our Civil War leader. Others feel differently and attempt to disparage him, his character and his leadership.This exploration is important for all Americans as we begin four years of celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.

Admission is $5 per person; museum members are free. For more information call the Museum at (617) 696- 1815 or visit our website at www.forbeshousemuseum.org.
