As an American icon, Abraham Lincoln is identified with strength of purpose and has come to symbolize not only a nation's division, but its reconciliation and the realization of its dream. From humble beginnings, Lincoln persevered, though he faced many challenges in his life, both public and private. He overcame them all and his eloquence, vision and basic humanity remain etched on the American character. These characteristics of strength, clarity, rough-hewn beginnings, and exquisite polish are portrayed in the Lincoln Award.
