co-sponsored by the Manuscript Division and the Rare Book and Special
Collections Division, Library of Congress. This year's program will be
highlighted by presentations from five nationally respected scholars.
William Lee Miller, author of the newly published Lincoln's Virtues,
will look at the moral development of the 16th President in "I Felt It
My Duty to Refuse: A Presidential Pardon Case." Renowned historian and
commentator Doris Kearns Goodwin will investigate the political and
personal dealings within "Lincoln's White House." Ronald C. White of the
San Francisco Theological Seminary will hold forth on the theological
aspects of "Lincoln's Sermon on the Mount: the Second Inaugural." Author
of Blood on the Moon, Edward Steers, Jr. will present his findings on
"The Lincoln Assassination--A Case of Historical Malpractice." The
Symposium will culminate with John R. Sellers, Manuscript Division,
Library of Congress, discussing the surprising information found within
the diary of Horatio Nelson Taft in "Lincoln's Washington: A Divided
City."

Question-and-Answer sessions following both the individual addresses and
the afternoon Speakers Panel will maximize audience participation. The
Symposium's climax will come with the presentation of the third annual
Hay-Nicolay Scholars Prize and the fifth annual Abraham Lincoln
Institute Book Award. The proceedings will close with a reception. The
event will be  cybercast live and webcast. For more information see:
