Celebrating Lincoln with a Tower of Books

The Centre for Education and Leadership recently opened across the street from Ford's Theatre, where Abraham Lincoln was shot, in Washington.

It explores " the lasting effect Abraham Lincoln’s presidency—and its untimely end—have had on our country." In the middle is a winding staircase and a 34 foot high "tower of books about Lincoln, symbolizing that the last word about this great man will never be written."
