African-Americans and Lincoln
 | Abraham Lincoln is heralded by history as The Great Emancipator. However, his record on racial issues and his image among African Americans is a little more complicated. Some scholars believe Lincoln is undeserving of his canonization as a champion of equal rights, saying his first priority was to preserve the union – whether or not slavery was abolished in the process. Join us Friday on State of Affairs as we take a look at Abraham Lincoln from an African American perspective. |
