holiday?

For years, I have personally celebrated, quietly, Lincoln Darwin Day, February 12, as a day to honor the lives of two of the greatest men that ever lived. The effects of their lives' work were profound and continue to this day to have influence.

For February 12, 2003, I decided to venture into the public arena with my Lincoln Darwin Holiday idea. For that year's Lincoln Darwin Day, I made some Lincoln Darwin Day greeting cards. You may see the current collection of Lincoln Darwin Day greeting cards by clicking on the "+" in the "spotlight" bar above and then selecting the link in the "spotlight" pull down.

Have a very merry Lincoln Darwin Day.

 

 

Quotes:

"Classing the colored race with the brutes frees from all the embarrassment that the idea that slavery is right if it has the endorsement of the popular will. But the idea that there is a conflict between the two races, or that the freedom of the white man is insecure unless the negro is reduced to a state of abject slavery, is false and that as long as my tongue can utter a word I will combat that infamous idea."

Abraham Lincoln

"Unless we willfully close our eyes, we may, with our present knowledge approximately recognize our parentage; nor need we feel ashamed of it."
