Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ceremonies and Reenactment of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Second Inauguration of Abraham Lincoln: 1865 1965; On the East Front of the Capitol of the United States, March 4, 1965 This report of the official observance of the one hundredth anniversary of the second inauguration of Abraham Lincoln is submitted to you and to the Congress of the United States in devout recognition of the importance to our country, and to its youth, of the revitalization and dramatization of the high points in American history. As Chairman, and on behalf of the Joint Committee on Arrangements, I hold it a high honor to present to you this record of the ceremonies and reenactment as they occurred on the East Front of the Capitol, March 4, 1965, exactly a century after the original event and at about the same hallowed spot. It is my contention, and I believe that of the Committee without exception, that this event touched with electricity the deepest emotional patriotism of those who witnessed it. Indeed, through the records and the films that the Committee has painstakingly had prepared and preserved, the emotional impact will without a doubt be made to endure, recurringly, for decades, perhaps centuries yet to come. In the audience before the Capitol, apart from those reached by TV and by radio and, later, the printed page, was a crowd estimated by the Capitol police as between 30,000 and 35,000 people, many of them schoolchildren, and not a few tourists from all over the United States and the world. It is the plan of the Committee, as you know, to make filmed and taped portions of the ceremonies, probably in color, available to every school and classroom in the United States, and wherever they are sought abroad, the latter under the aegis of the United States Information Agency.
