This week we marked the 150th anniversary of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. On this week’s KTEP Book Club, Louie talks with author and USC History Professor Richard Fox about his book LINCOLN'S BODY, which examines how Lincoln's "homely" and "ungainly" appearance came to stand for a symbol of nationhood, liberty, and acceptance.
