Less than a minute after taking off from La Guardia Airport on January 15, 2009, US Airways flight 1549 collided with a flock of birds. The engines went dead and the pilot made an emergency landing on the Hudson River, saving everyone on board. The remains of the birds were sent to the CSI of the bird world - the National Museum of Natural History's Feather Identification Lab. This small exhibition case explains how museum scientists worked with transportation safety experts in this modern aviation mystery.

Forever Free: Abraham Lincoln's Journey to Emancipation




Thursday April 2, 2009 - Friday May 15, 2009
DC Public Library - Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library

901 G Street, NW
Washington, District of Columbia 20001 Get Directions
The exhibition addresses these questions: Was Lincoln really the "Great Emancipator" whom generations of Americans have been taught to revere? Or did Lincoln reluctantly embrace emancipation only after the actions of abolitionists in the north and enslaved African Americans in the south left him no other choice? Was Lincoln's paramount object saving the Union or freeing the enslaved? Why did emancipation become a Union war only in 1862, and how did that momentous shift in policy influence the outcome of the conflict?
