09-08-2025This Ken Burns documentary is outstanding! I absolutely loved watching it and had to own it. The lives of the young boys are so impacted by the brilliant program of this school they attend. What a blessing for them to have the privilege of working with such powerful mentors.When they journey to Gettysburg and see for themselves the vastness of the destruction that took place there, they are forever changed. How would it be if all Americans could experience the awakening of awareness that takes place in these young people's lives.I highly recommend this for anyone who loves learning, teaching, parenting, mentoring, or our Nation's history.

09-08-2025This is a sometimes touching story about the schooling and development of children with learning difficulties. The Lincoln Address and the history behind it is only secondary.

At Greenwood School in Vermont, it's students, boys, ages 11 to 17, are asked each year to memorize the Gettysburg Address. These boys all suffer from learning differences that have made their progress extremely challenging. Interweaving the history of this famous American speech with the journey of the boys, THE ADDRESS reveals the timeless resonance of Lincoln's words, while culminating in the triumph of the human spirit.
