150 years have passed since the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.  To mark this milestone, the Rare Book & Manuscript Library (346 Main Library, 1408 W. Gregory Drive, Urbana, IL) will host an exhibition curated by John Hoffmann, head of the Illinois History and Lincoln Collections at the University of Illinois Library.

The exhibition, A Nation in Tears: 150 Years After Lincoln’s Death, will open on Lincoln's birthday and close on May 4, 2015, the anniversary of the day of the President's burial in Springfield, Illinois.
