"150 Years After the Thirteenth Amendment"

 A Black History Month Event with
 Congressman G.K. Butterfield 

President Lincoln's Cottage and the Armed Forces Retirement Home are proud to partner for our annual Black History Month program. Keynote speaker Congressman G. K. Butterfield, Representative of North Carolina's 1st District and Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, will speak on his experiences as a student leader, Civil Rights attorney, judge, and Congressman that have put him in the front-lines of history, helping others to fully realize the promise of the Thirteenth Amendment and continuing to shape an equal and just United States. This program will also include inspirational readings and musical interludes.

Please gather in the atrium of the Robert H. Smith Visitor Education Center at President Lincoln's Cottage at 1:15 pm. Program will be held in the Scott Building of the Armed Forces Retirement Home, and members of the public will walk over together from the President Lincoln's Cottage grounds.
