A national traveling exhibition focusing on Abraham Lincoln’s struggle to meet the constitutional challenges of the Civil War is currently on display in the Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons 3rd floor Gallery Space.
“Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War” offers a fresh perspective on Lincoln’s presidency. Visitors will leave the exhibition with a more complete understanding of Lincoln as president and the Civil War as the nation’s gravest constitutional crisis. The exhibit is on display until January
Both the general public and the Georgia Tech community are invited to view the exhibit and attend the opening reception on Thursday, January 10 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Clough Commons.

The traveling exhibition has been made possible by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. “Lincoln: the Constitution and the Civil War” is based on an exhibition of the same name developed by the National Constitution Center.
