at Last: A History of the Abolition of Slavery"
A traveling exhibit curated by world-renowned historian James Oliver
Horton for the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History will be

interpretive and educational materials, including personal letters,
documents, cartoons, photographs and broadsides, drawn in large part
from the Lehrman collection. Many of the items previously have been
unavailable to the public on a widespread basis, such as an early fragment
of the "House Divided" speech by Abraham Lincoln.
