With Malice Toward None: The Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Exhibition

On display September 4 -- November 7, 2010

"With Malice Toward None: The Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Exhibition" celebrates the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth and traces his growth from prairie lawyer to preeminent statesman. More than a chronological account of the life of Abraham Lincoln, the exhibition reveals Lincoln the man, whose thoughts, words, and actions were deeply affected by personal experiences and pivotal historic events. Interactive computer stations, multimedia presentations, documents, books, broadsides and newspapers, prints and photographs, artifacts, and maps all provide a glimpse into the Lincoln presidency and addresses the monumental issues he faced including slavery and race, the dissolution of the Union and the Civil War, and his attempts to heal the nation's wounds. The Atlanta History Center is the only venue in the South to host this traveling exhibition organized by the Library of Congress.


Organized by the Library of Congress, "With Malice Toward None" and its national tour are made possible through the generous support of Union Pacific Corporation. The exhibition is presented in Atlanta by The John and Mary Franklin Foundation, Southern Company, Atlanta Gas Light, and the Georgia Humanities Council. "With Malice Toward None" is presented as part of the Atlanta History Center's Civil War to Civil Rights exhibition series, presented by the Scott Hudgens Family Foundation, Macy's, and The Atlanta Foundation.

With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds
