Learn The Gettysburg Address
Documentarian Ken Burns has asked numerous celebrities to be recorded reading the Gettysburg Address (spoken by President Lincoln 150 years ago today). A mashup of the reading which includes all five living Presidents is in the video above. The individual readings can be found here. It is one of the best and most important speeches in American history, so take two minutes (that’s how long it takes) and give a listen.
