Lt. Gov. Timothy M. Kaine gave a speech at the site when the statue was unveiled in 2003.? A small
plane pulling a red "Sic Semper Tyrannis" (Thus Always to Tyrants) banner
flew over the stage as Kaine spoke. Earlier, lusty rebel yells and whistles
echoed outside the park gates as other speakers praised Lincoln.

Tameka,

The historic fact of Lincoln walking in Richmond brought back memories of a 
dispute over a Lincoln statues (with son Todd) that was to be built in 
Richmond, and the objections to it based on the fact that the confederacy 
tried to keep Lincoln out of Richmond. Was that statue ever built? Where?

Sorry, my memory wobbles on some details.

Anne
