Historical actor Fritz Klein, in his role as Abraham Lincoln, speaks to students at Riverview Middle School about Lincoln’s role in the Civil War during an all-school convocation held Thursday, Oct. 20. Klein spoke “in character” as well as out of character about the economic impact of slavery on the United States and the decisions that led to Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. The program was part of the LaFontaine Arts Council’s Arts in Education series.
