PRESS RELEASE FROM LINCOLN’S COTTAGE

On Thursday November 10th President Lincoln’s Cottage (on the corner of Upshur and Rock Creek Church in Petworth) will be hosting a book discussion on Lincoln’s sexuality. Join us as author Charles Strozier and consulting public LGBT historian Susan Ferentinos discuss Strozier’s book, Your Friend Forever, A. Lincoln: The Enduring Friendship of Abraham Lincoln and Joshua Speed.

Strozier and Ferentinos will discuss Lincoln’s lifelong friendship with Speed, and deeper examine how male intimacy has been treated in our country during the Civil War, and over time.
President Lincoln’s Cottage’s Cottage Conversations offer relaxing evenings to socialize and learn something new about our 16th president from authors, collectors, and artists. The program begins with a cocktail reception, is followed by the lecture, and concludes with a book signing.
