PERSPECTIVES: Searching for Lincoln's Ghost

In a rebroadcast from February 23, 2013, and in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the battle at Gettysburg, Louie talks with Barbara J. Dzikowski, author of "Searching for Lincoln's Ghost," a young adult historical fiction novel set in the 1960s.  Dzikowski talks about how the book reflects on the growing pains the nation was suffering during the civil rights movement.  They also reflect on the apparent parallels between civil rights abuses in the `60s and the more-recent sexual abuse in the Catholic church. http://www.barbarajdzikowski.com/Home.html   Aired July 6, 2013.
