Would Lincoln have liked this? Do you like it?

When Lincoln went to Charleston at the end of the war, freed slaves kneeled before him and he told them to get up. He didn't want to be treated as a prophet or saint.

What I love best about Lincoln is his funny side, his goofy side, which was so much part of his personality. Statues, including the Lincoln Memorial, rarely capture that side of him.
