Abraham Lincoln: A Commemorationhttps://www.spreaker.com/podcast/abraham-lincoln-a-commemoration-15-april-2015-by-various--6328474The collection includes Walt Whitman’s celebrated poems “O Captain! My Captain!” and “When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d,” alongside tributes by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Frederick Douglass, Charles Sumner, George Bancroft, and William Cullen Bryant. It also presents the remarkable testimony of Dr. Charles A. Leale, one of the physicians who attended Lincoln during his final hours, as well as speeches delivered before the British Parliament following the president’s death.
Completing the commemoration are three of Lincoln’s most important works: the Emancipation Proclamation, the Gettysburg Address, and his Second Inaugural Address. Together, these writings reveal the grief felt across nations while preserving Lincoln’s own vision of liberty, equality, national unity, and reconciliation.
Both a historical record and a literary tribute, this collection offers a thoughtful portrait of a leader whose words and ideals continue to shape the meaning of American democracy.
