Gregory Distinguished Lecture: Martha Hodes

Historian Martha Hodes of New York University
The Chapel, UGA North Campus

"Mourning Lincoln: The Assassination and the Aftermath of the Civil War," presented by  Martha Hodes, a professor of history at New York University. Public responses to Lincoln's assassination have been well chronicled, but Hodes is the first to delve into personal and private responses—of African-Americans and whites, yankees and confederates, men and women, soldiers and civilians—investigating the story of the nation's first presidential assassination on a human scale.

This is a university Signature Lecture. UGA Signature Lectures feature speakers noted for their broad, multidisciplinary appeal and compelling bodies of work. Many of the lectures are supported by endowments, while others honor notable figures and milestones in the university's history.

 The Gregory Lecture is supported by the Amanda and Greg Gregory Civil War Era Studies Support Fund.
