Learn the Address
Ken Burns has launched an initiative in which he’s inviting us to learn the Gettysburg Address to honor the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s speech on November 19. In April 2014 PBS will air Burns’ new film, The Address, about a school in Vermont where each year boys with learning challenges memorize the Gettysburg speech and recite it in public. Here’s an edited version of of the address featuring President Obama and all the living presidents, Stephen Colbert, Conan O’Brien, Taylor Swift, Bill Gates and many others. –Eric Gould
