1 SachemPublic Library FOREVER FREE Abraham Lincoln s Journey to Emancipation July 23 - September 4, 2009
2 About the Exhibit Sachem Library has been selected as one of only 63 libraries in the United States to host a new exhibition, Forever Free: Abraham Lincoln s Journey to Emancipation. This collection of reproductions of rare historical documents, period photographs, and illustrative material examines Abraham Lincoln s quest to restore a Union divided by Civil War and shows how Lincoln s beliefs about freeing the slaves were transformed by war-time developments. This exhibit is based on original documents relating to Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War, abolition, and the Emancipation Proclamation in collections from the Huntington Library in California and the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. Forever Free is made possible by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission.
