Emancipator

© Curtis Jinkins

I've been going through the portfolios of some of the artists involved in Fifty and Fifty, the state motto project I posted a few days ago. I've always found Abraham Lincoln to be a fascinating character in American history and thus enjoyed Curtis Jinkins' piece above. It also made me think about the Sufjan Steven's song "Decatur" ("Stephen A. Douglas was a great debater, but Abraham Lincoln was The Great Emancipator!").
