• As part of marking this momentous date in American history, the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission is encouraging all schools to participate in a national teach-in on February 12, 2009. "Schools that participate in the National Teach-In will receive certificates recognizing them as a Lincoln Bicentennial School and they will be listed on the ALBC Web site. As a component of this project, the ALBC will partner with the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Federation of State Humanities Councils and National History Day to encourage Lincoln-themed Teacher Workshops that will help prepare and inspire teachers to focus on Lincoln during the bicentennial year."
