Cincinnati's Commemoration of the Bicentennial Birthday of Abraham Lincoln continues on Wednesday, September 9, 2009, with a televised town hall meeting featuring special guest former congressman and United Nations Ambassador Andrew Young.
WCPO-TV News Anchor Clyde Gray will moderate the program. The ninety minute program -- which will also be streamed live on CETConnect -- will take place from 8:00-9:30 p.m. The program will include a panel of local respondents, including Father Michael Graham, President of Xavier University; Judge Nathaniel Jones, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit; Jan Michele Lemon-Kearney, Publisher of the Cincinnati Herald, and Maria G. Molina, Procter & Gamble's Latin American Development Director and Americas Consumer Relations Manager. Program participants also include John Pepper, community leader, historian, and former chairman and CEO of Procter & Gamble, a diverse group of area citizens and a live studio audience discussing the climate of race and politics in Cincinnati in 2009. Viewers will also have opportunities to participate during the broadcast and subsequent program stream through real time polling and social media, including Twitter (lincoln200yrs) and the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission on Facebook.
This event is presented by Lincoln Legacy: A Cincinnati Celebration of Freedom and The Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission in Washington, D.C. to provide opportunities for all of us to rededicate ourselves to the high ideals of freedom, justice and morality modeled by Abraham Lincoln throughout his life and career.
The Fetzer Institute of Kalamazoo, Michigan provided a major grant to the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission Foundation to produce the Lincoln town hall meetings. Additional funding provided by Prudential Financial Inc., The Marjorie Kovler Fund, McCormick Foundation, Motorola Foundation, and Canadian National.
