Clement Price, Ph.D, Vice-Chair of the New Jersey Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission, Board of  Governors Distinguished Service Professor ,and Director of the  Institute on Ethnicity, Culture, and the Modern Experience,  Rutgers University, will speak.  This lecture will shed light on the presence of Abraham Lincoln in New Jersey history.  Race relations in New Jersey, not unlike Lincoln’s views on race, were complicated and evolved over time, which enables students of history to imagine Lincoln and New Jersey as symbols of a larger American narrative.
