The Georgia Historical Society returns to the Georgia Public Broadcasting Studios in Atlanta for the 2008 Profiles in Leadership, which will focus on "Abraham Lincoln: Leadership and Legacy for a New Generation," as part of the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial. This year’s program will explore the life, times, and leadership of a man who guided the nation through one of the most tumultuous periods in American history. Our panelists this year are two of the foremost national authorities on Lincoln and are both Lincoln Prize winners: David Blight of Yale University (click here to read bio ) and Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer, co-chairman of the United States Lincoln Bicentennial (click here to read bio ).

Harold Holzer will be previewing his new book, Lincoln - President Elect (slated for release in late October). Copies will be available for purchase and autographs during the book signing that follows the evening's program.
