It's my birthday! I'm 200 years old this year and everyone is making a huge deal out of it. I'm blushing.

I want to meet people who love music, equal rights, sounds of freedom, and believe in the power of words to inspire and change lives.

General
I was the president.
Music
I'm a huge fan of Smithsonian Global Sound
. It's the best place for historical tunes like Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, and Mahalia Jackson.
Movies
Really, I don't lie.
Television
What's television?
Books
The Bible. I also like to write. I've been told I'm quite the speechwriter.
Heroes
My sons and my wife. I also am amazed by the commitment of my soldiers who fight for their country.

Get your Marian Anderson on! It's the 70th anniversary of her famous Easter Sunday Concert at the Lincoln Memorial. Today we really need to be thinking of music that speaks to freedom, civil rights, and humanity.
Any ideas?

Hi Abe! I'd love for you to put Pride (In the Name of Love) by U2 on your playlist.

What songs would Lincoln add to his iPod? If you were creating a playlist about freedom and civil rights what songs would you choose?
