Spielberg's Lincoln

[Laurie Verge]

Somewhere earlier on this thread or forum, I asked people to keep their fingers crossed because there was a chance that Gloria Reuben, who portrayed Elizabeth Keckly in the Lincoln movie, might be coming to Surratt House in May as part of a Historic Preservation Evening.

We evidently did not cross enough fingers because Ms. Reuben did not accept what we thought was a generous honorarium, travel expenses from NY, and lodging in a hotel of her choice in D.C. Very disappointing.
