So Tuesday, as Google so kindly informed me, was the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address.

I have to say that many presidents in our history have given good speeches but this is my favorite. Lincoln was a crowd pleaser and must have been quite a charmer. Of course he obviously had enemies considering he was assassinated but people throw rocks at things that shine, right?
If you haven't taken a peek around Google's Cultural Institute, do yourself a favor and take a look. The caption of the following photo will take you there!.
