Whilst I was procrastinating from my homework, I was reminded of an interesting documentary I saw a while back called Looking for Lincoln, in which Henry Louis Gates Jr., my favorite historian (yes I have a favorite historian!), looks for the true man behind the legend that is Abraham Lincoln. Like most Americans (except some Southerners apparently),I have a great appreciation for our sixteenth president. But is what we were taught in schools totally accurate? Was the "Great Emancipator" a racist? Gates tries to find out. It is a very interesting documentary. You might be surprised how much you didn't know about Mr. Lincoln.
If you are in the mood for more Lincoln things, check out this documentary free (and legit) on Youtube about Lincoln impersonators. Seriously!!! It's pretty interesting. BTW they have some pretty cool docs you can see legitimately free on youtube. Just search through their movie section.
You are so awesome. I'm very proud to call you my cousin lol
