About the Event

The Lincoln Group of DC and the Civil War Round Table of DC present Pulitzer Prize winning historian Jon Meacham who will give the keynote address for our annual joint Lincoln Birthday banquet. Meacham will speak on the topic of “A Sacred Effort: Lincoln’s American Theology,” based on his bestselling book, And There Was Light: Abraham Lincoln and the American Struggle. This book traces Lincoln’s life from frontier Kentucky to his leadership during the Civil War and assassination. According to Meacham, “Lincoln’s story illustrates the ways and means of politics in a democracy, the roots and durability of racism, and the capacity of conscience to shape events.”

The in-person dinner at Ft. Myer begins at 6 pm and Jon Meacham will join us by Zoom at approximately 6:45 pm. This will be an in-person event in the Patton Hall Officers’ Club at Ft. Myer. We will have the usual Lincoln…
