Join us to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Lincoln Memorial and President Lincoln through a medium he was known for, the art of oratory. On Tuesday, May 17, DC Public and Public Charter School classrooms from Ford’s Lincoln Oratory Festival program will perform speeches by President Lincoln, as well as speeches by other powerful orators such as Frederick Douglass and Mary McLeod Bethune. In the majesty of the Lincoln Memorial, experience the power of oratory past and present, and leave inspired!
