President Abraham Lincoln never made it
to Minnesota, but those who study him say his policies had a
lasting effect on African-Americans and Dakota Indians in the
state.


      Two historians and a Dakota elder will discuss Lincoln's legacy
on Tuesday in St. Paul.

      The panel includes Minneapolis Public Schools Superintendent
Bill Green, Dakota educator David Larsen and University of
Minnesota professor emeritus Hy Berman.

      The event is organized by the Minnesota Lincoln Bicentennial
Commission and will be held at the Minnesota History Center.
