About this Event
On February 27, marking the 160th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s historic “Right Makes Might” speech in Cooper Union’s Great Hall, America’s leading conservative voices gather to discuss what it means to be a patriot in our current times. All eight of the founding members of the Lincoln Project will appear for the first time in public, sharing their perspectives on Lincoln’s legacy, the Constitution, rule of law, and the movement to put the country before political party.
The event is free and open to the public. General public should reserve a space. Please note seating is on a first come basis; an RSVP does not guarantee admission as we generally overbook to ensure a full house.
