The Boca Raton Public Library is pleased to host Abraham Lincoln: A Man of His Time, A Man for All Times, a national traveling exhibition organized by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. This exhibition has been made possible in part through a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and is a valuable addition to the Boca Raton Public Library’s 2016 initiative to further civic engagement.
Abraham Lincoln: A Man of His Time, A Man for All Times encourages a deeper understanding of the nation’s 16th president’s life, accomplishments and legacy through Lincoln’s own words in speeches, letters and proclamations. Lincoln believed that America’s greatest strength lay in guaranteeing its citizens their natural rights and opportunities to succeed. Like Jefferson, Lincoln believed that "all men are created equal," and he carried these democratic ideals to their logical conclusion further than any president had done before.
