Professor Wilson read the Gettysburg Address in her Newspaper Reporting class on Nov. 20. She told the class that President Abraham Lincoln gave this historic speech 150 years ago while standing on the Gettysburg battlefield where the Civil War was fought. All the students paid close attention as Wilson recited the speech. They were all listening closely, while tweeting excerpts from the speech.
Wilson stood in front of the classroom and carefully recited parts of the address. She was paying respect to the soldiers who have fought and will fight for our freedom. In the Gettyburg Address, Lincoln also thanked and honored the soldiers who fought in the Civil War. He said we should all respect the soldiers who gave their lives and devotion to protect our freedom and realize our nation would not be where it is today without the bravery of these strong men.
Wilson quoted Lincoln saying, "The world wil not remember what was said here, but it can never forget what they did here."
Lincoln was right.
The heros who fought for our freedom in Gettysburg have never been forgotten and it is through his great speech that we honor the memory of those soldiers.
The nation will continue to honor the soldiers who died on the Gettysburg battlefield. From Washington D.C. to a Newspaper Reporting class of 13 students, the memory of the Gettysburg battle, the dead soldiers, and Lincoln's speech will continue to be appreciated through the years
