Abraham Lincoln—one of this country's greatest Presidents—possesses a storied legacy. It is a legacy characterized by an unwavering commitment to the Union—to the country he loved—and to the ideals of freedom, democracy, and equal opportunity upon which it was founded.
The cause of human freedom for which Abraham Lincoln tirelessly fought throughout his astonishing, exemplary life speaks to us still today. Indeed, though the cause of human freedom has advanced measurably in the decades since Lincoln achieved the abolition of slavery, there is an urgent need to recognize that the struggle persists.
What can we learn from a man who lived so long ago? Perhaps the greatest lessons are rooted in the timeless example of a man who achieved greatness only by recognizing that others could never achieve greatness themselves if shackled by hatred, discrimination, or social doctrines that diminished their worth as fellow human beings.
Abraham Lincoln remains a vital, living force in this country—and indeed throughout the world. The enduring moral truths for which he fought so boldly preserved the very democracy that would have been shamed into extinction by the failure to recognize and uphold the sanctity and value of every human life.
