"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." It's been 150 years since President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg address. On The Sound of Ideas, we'll talk about the impact of that speech and whether the proposition of equality has become reality. Wilson R. Huhn, Professor and Associate Director of the Constitutional Law Center at The University of Akron School of Law
Brent Brossman, PhD, debate team coach, John Carroll University
Mel Maurer, Lincoln scholar and impersonator, Westlake
Scott Hancock, PhD, associate history professor, Gettysburg College
