Library exhibit explores Lincoln-Douglas debates
A new exhibit in Booth Library looks at the Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1858.
The exhibit, funded in part by a grant from the Illinois Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission, contains information about the Lincoln-Douglas debates, the political climate of the time and the 1858 election results.
Visitors can track the daily progress of Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas through Illinois and the debates via a railroad track graphic. Historians from the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum helped to develop the exhibit's content, text and graphics. The Lincoln Trails Libraries System is responsible for coordinating this traveling exhibition.
A series of debates between Douglas and Lincoln were held during the 1858 campaign for a U.S. Senate seat from Illinois. Slavery was the principal topic of the debates, which drew the attention of the entire nation. Douglas won the Senate seat, but the debates set the stage for Lincoln's successful presidential run in 1860.
The exhibit is on display in the Booth Library atrium April 1 through April 30.
Screening of "Crossing the Line"
"Crossing the Line" will be screened as part one of the Asian Film Series for Asian Heritage Month. It will be shown at 5 p.m. in Lumpkin Hall, Room 2030.
