RE: Extra Credit Questions - mbgross - 05-19-2019
Canada?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 05-19-2019
I am sorry, Mike, but Steve got it. Kudos, Steve!
I came across this information in the Spring 2019 edition of the Lincoln Forum Bulletin:
"A 30-inch high, original bronze bust of Lincoln - the work of New York sculptor Frank R. Porcu - has been gifted by the Forum to the South American township of Lincoln, Argentina.
The town - some four hours northwest of Buenos Aires - is believed to be the first municipality outside the United States named for Abraham Lincoln. The designation was ordered by Argentinian president Domingo Faustino Sarmiento (1811-1888), a passionate admirer of the American president. Sarmiento went on to write and publish a Spanish language Lincoln biography."

I believe that there is only one public airport in the U.S. named after Mr. Lincoln. Where is it located?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Steve - 05-20-2019
Lincoln, Nebraska?

If there is one there, it's not the one that my source cited. I think the distinction might be that the one in Nebraska is named for the city, whereas the one I'm thinking of carries Lincoln's full name?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Steve - 05-21-2019
The airport in Lincoln, Nebraska is called Lincoln Airport. For my second guess, I'll say an airport somewhere near Springfield, Illinois?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 05-21-2019
No idea, so I'll guess the most populated state (and thus probably the one with the most airports) - California.

You just have to name the airport now, Steve, because it is in Springfield (although one source said Springville). BTW: The airport in your first guess shares a dual purpose just like the one that I am hinting at now.

With a little Google assist... Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport
RE: The Study of Lincoln... - LincolnMan - 06-14-2019
This past week I asked three African-American patients of mine if they thought Lincoln owned slaves. To my shock they all answered in the affirmative. I guess I shouldn’t be shocked but I was. Oh how we need to study Lincoln more than ever.

I would never have thought to ask such a question. Why did you? And, upon what specific information did your three African-American patients believe that Lincoln owned slaves? Perhaps, the students confused Lincoln with Jefferson.
RE: The Study of Lincoln... - L Verge - 06-14-2019
Good for you, Bill. More people need to open lines of communication between various diverse citizens that we intermingle with on a fairly regular basis. To me, there is no difference between posing that question to African Americans and asking it of a Caucasian or other ethnic group.
At Surratt House, we have monthly programs on a very wide variety of 19th-century topics (black history, women's history, war history, local and DC history, culture, etc.). We generally have a diverse audience of 50-100 with a lot of Q&A at the end and some topics that are controversial, but handled nicely. Last Saturday's program on Point Lookout Prison for Confederates did bring out one neo-Confederate lady of about 70, but the mixed audience was patient with her.
I have also had discussions with folks who were taught in school that Lincoln had African-American bloodlines. Try and handle that one -- but it has to be answered. You don't know how important it is to discuss contentious
issues and turn them into good history.
RE: The Study of Lincoln... - LincolnMan - 06-19-2019
My office has several Lincoln things placed on various shelves. My patients know my passion for him. I asked the question simply because they are often curious about my attention to him. I also have good relationships with them. I don’t know why they thought Lincoln owned slaves—well actually I think I do. They do confuse him with Jefferson-so you are correct!

Tied to Lincoln in some way?
