How We View Our History: The Changing Image of the 16th President

A Road Scholar Program by Ron Keller

Using clips from a variety of motion pictures throughout the twentieth century, Ron Keller demonstrates how the lens of popular culture shapes public perceptions of history. He also shows how that history does and does not mirror the changing perspective of one of America’s greatest icons, Abraham Lincoln.
