Published: February 10, 2009
WASHINGTON - The small, red Bible used to swear in Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Barack Obama will go on rare public display to mark the 200th anniversary of the 16th president's birth.
Beginning on Thursday, the national Lincoln Bicentennial exhibit at the Library of Congress, "With Malice Toward None," will showcase the Bible, along with the first draft of the Emancipation Proclamation, what may be the original Gettysburg Address and even the grammar book Lincoln used to master English.
The three-month display is among dozens of events and exhibits in the nation's capital celebrating Lincoln's Feb. 12 birthday.
