At the same time, they have consciously reshaped the sixteenth president's image for their own social and political ends. Frederick Hord and Matthew D. Norman's anthology explores the complex nature of views on Lincoln through the writings and thought of Frederick Douglass, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Mary McLeod Bethune, Thurgood Marshall, Malcolm X, Gwendolyn Brooks, Barbara Jeanne Fields, Barack Obama, and dozens of others. The selections move from speeches to letters to book excerpts, mapping the changing contours of the bond--emotional and intellectual--between Lincoln and Black Americans over the span of one hundred and fifty years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e A comprehensive and valuable reader, \u003ci\u003eKnowing Him by Heart\u003c\/i\u003e examines Lincoln's still-evolving place in Black American thought. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fred Lee Hord\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252044681\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252044687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 6.30w x 2.10d","brand":"Fred Lee Hord","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072181301503,"sku":"9780252044687","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_078b500d-e4a8-422a-afe0-8d54e6cb7cfe.jpg?v=1685440421","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/knowing-him-by-heart-fred-lee-hord-9780252044687","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
