Influencing Lincoln: The Pursuit of Black Freedom

Presented by Indiana State Museum at Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites, Indianapolis IN

Ongoing
Influencing Lincoln: The Pursuit of Black Freedom

This exhibit explores the Black community’s fight for freedom and equal rights during and after the Civil War at the national level and in Indiana.

Visitors will learn how members of the Black community – national figures like Frederick Douglass or people in his immediate circle – influenced Abraham Lincoln as he moved toward ending slavery and advocating for greater rights. And they’ll see rare historic documents that resulted from this movement: the Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth Amendment.
