Brian Dirck, Abraham Lincoln and White America. "This is Gerry Prokopowicz, with Civil War Talk Radio,it's February 2013, and we're approaching the 204th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. With well over 16,000 books already written about our 16th President, what new left to say? Surprisingly, a lot. Lincoln had more impact on race relations than perhaps any other individual in American history. This week we'll talk with Professor Brian Dirck about one of Lincoln's qualities that is so significant, relevant and obvious, that it is astonishing that no one has addressed in detail before. Professor Dirck is the author of Abraham Lincoln and White America and he joins us today on Civil War Talk Radio.
