I have actually seen the guy on the bottom of page 37, Eddie Price on "1812 Remember the Raisin" at out local library.

So I went to the main web site for the KY Humanities Council, and it is really nice. Take a look - http://www.kyhumanities.org/index.php
Lots of history related to Abrahaam Lincoln among other things. I live in the far western part of KY, so I wasn't familiar with this organizaiton. You may have something similiar in your state.

And here is the Kentucky Humanities Council magazine issue on Lincoln

There is a lot here, that I'm just beginning to explore. Have fun!

Great program, Gene. Maryland has a Chatauqua series also each summer that rotates around the state. I don't believe that we stick strictly to Marylanders, however. I have been to several of them in the past, and they were quite good. Our Humanities Council also has a speakers' bureau, and we have used some of their talent for special programs at Surratt House over the years. Groups can even apply for grants to get financial aid in getting some of these performers/historians.

We have had Frederick Douglass, Clara Barton, Sojourner Truth, and Harriet Tubman over the years in programs commemorating Black History Month and also Women's History Month.
