Flag from Lincoln era to be on display at KU
A flag from the Lincoln era will be on display at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics throughout its Presidential Lecture Series.
The 34-star flag was flown from 1861 to 1863 — President Abraham Lincoln refusing to allow any stars to be removed from the flag, despite Southern states threatening to secede.
The flag belongs to Dennis Dailey, professor emeritus of social welfare, who had the flag verified on an episode of the PBS program “Antiques Roadshow.”
The flag will be on public display until March 13 in the reading room of the Dole Institute from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday and before and after Presidential Lecture Series programs.
