29th Annual Abraham Lincoln Institute Symposium at Ford’s Theatre

Saturday, March 21, 2026, is the 29th annual Abraham Lincoln Institute Symposium at Ford’s Theatre in downtown Washington, DC. This year is a special, with a new format, big stars, music, and a focus on the theme: “Abraham Lincoln, the Declaration of Independence, and the State of Civic Life Today” in celebration with the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding. I will be introducing the first panel, so don’t be late.  See you there!
