1) Wednesday, January 11, 8 pm EST/7 pm CST: Lincoln Group president David J.

2) Thursday, January 12, 6:30-7:30 pm EST: President Lincoln's Cottage presents a series of Scholar Sessions. The first virtual program will feature a conversation between the Cottage's President/CEO Michael Atwood Mason and Lincoln Group president David J. Kent. They will discuss a wide range of topics including Lincoln's commitment to modernizing American and other aspects of Lincoln's life. Following their conversation, the event will be opened up to all virtual attendees for a Q&A period. Lincoln Cottage members can participate for free; there is a $10 fee for non-members.
3) Tuesday, January 17, 6:00 pm EST: The Lincoln Group of DC holds its monthly Zoom meeting featuring Diana Schaub discussing her book, His Greatest Speeches: How Lincoln Moved a Nation. Dr. Schaub is a professor of political science at Loyola University Maryland and a member of the Board of Directors of the Abraham Lincoln Institute. The Lincoln Group's study forum analyzed her book in the spring of 2021, so we can safely say that this presentation is not to be missed. This is a free virtual event.
