Seven score and ten years ago...

Seven score and ten years ago this afternoon, President Lincoln reminded us of the sacrifices being then made and those still to come to preserve “ the government of the people, by the people and for the people”.

As we remember and honor his words, and the great deeds that occasioned them, may we also be reminded of the great and “unfinished” work before us.  Work still so necessary, in all elements of our society, if we are to truly embrace the “better angels of our nature”.
