The words, “Four score and seven years ago,” are considered part of one of the most important and powerful speeches of all time. On November 19, 1863, at a dedication of the Soldiers’ National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Abraham Lincoln spoke to a country divided. In a mere two minutes he summed up true patriotism and what a country should be as a whole. Equality for all; “a government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth”. His words ring as true today as then; a testament to strength of the United States and its people. (77 1/2" x 85 1/2" and 37 1/2" x 43 3/4")
