Today is the 200th anniversary of the birth of America's greatest president, Abraham Lincoln. "The Railsplitter" was born in a one-room cabin near Hodgenville, Kentucky.
There are events all over the nation, including southern states, celebrating the Lincoln Bicentennial.
The premiere ceremony will be held tonight in Lincoln's adopted hometown of Springfield, Illinois, with President Barack Obama in attendance.
Happy Birthday, Abe!
