Description: Actor Sam Waterston [From Law & Order] delivers Abraham Lincoln's Cooper Union speech in Cooper Union's Great Hall, where the speech was originally delivered in February 1860. In Mr. Lincoln's famous address, which many credit with earning him the presidency, Lincoln argued against the spread of slavery to the western states. The speech is the subject of a new book by Harold Holzer: "Lincoln at Cooper Union: The Speech That Made Abraham Lincoln President." The book explores the culture that produced the speech and describes the speech's impact. Mr. Holzer will introduce Sam Waterston's presentation.
