USI offers free Lincoln birthday program
|
The University of Southern Indiana will offer a free program, “Abraham Lincoln on Screen,” from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, February 10, in Kleymeyer Hall in the Liberal Arts Center at USI. Abraham Lincoln is so deeply ingrained in our national consciousness that his image can be found practically everywhere – in sculptures, paintings, posters, dolls, decorative items and on screen, in film and television productions. He is the most frequently portrayed American historical figure in the history of film and television. Consequently, many people have formed their opinions of him and gained their knowledge of him based on these portrayals. Using film clips from various movies and television programs, portrayals of Lincoln will be examined both in terms of what they say about him and what they say about the times in which they were made. The program will be presented by Mike Capps, chief of interpretation at the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, and is offered as a public celebration of Lincoln’s birthday. No fee or advance registration is required. For more information, call USI Extended Services at 812/464-1989. |
