Gregory Distinguished Lecture: Mourning Lincoln

UGA Chapel



History_Hodes_GregoryLecture2015.jpg"Mourning Lincoln: The Assassination and the Aftermath of the Civil War," presented by Martha Hodes, a professor of history at New York University. Public responses to Lincoln's assassination have been well chronicled, but Hodes is the first to delve into personal and private responses—of African-Americans and whites, yankees and confederates, men and women, soldiers and civilians—investigating the story of the nation's first presidential assassination on a human scale.
