From the House Chamber of the Old State Capitol in Springfield: famed Lincoln impersonator George Buss offers a depiction of President Abraham Lincoln holding a Presidential News Conference in April 1865 as the Civil War drew to a close. Members of Springfield's Capitol press corps pepper President Lincoln with period questions on taxes, how he plans to heal the nation's wounds, and his future plans after he leaves the White House. This event was organized by the Abraham Lincoln Association in Illinois as part of the 2009 commemoration of the bicentennial of President Lincoln's birth.
I'm glad this modern-to-past interview of President Lincoln by modern day media was preserved and shared. All can value the "might and right" wishes that Abe hoped for.
