2009, Bicentenary of Abraham Lincoln’s Birthday   Leave a comment

One of my favorite blog site discoveries this year is Kiko’s House http://kikoshouse.blogspot.com

I learned about Shaun Mullen blog when he commented on one of my blog entries on our cat Kiko passing on. As you might guess, he had a cat named Kiko.

I just love his site. As Shaun states on his site, he was born to blog. “It just took a few years for the medium to catch up to the messenger.” Throughout the year, Kiko’s House has celebrated the bicentenary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth with posts and book excerpt on the greatest of American presidents. Here are the highlights:

Additionally, on Christmas Day,  Bill Moyers Journal had on Bill T. Jones. “At the close of Abraham Lincoln’s bicentennial year, BILL MOYERS JOURNAL takes a unique look at our nation’s 16th President — through the eyes of the critically acclaimed dance artist Bill T. Jones. In a groundbreaking work of choreography called FONDLY DO WE HOPE…FERVENTLY DO WE PRAY, Jones reimagines a young Lincoln in his formative years through modern dance. Bill Moyers speaks with Jones about his creative process, his insights into Lincoln, and how dance can give us fresh perspective on America’s most-studied president.”

Here are links to the Christmas Day show:
