Norm Silverstein, WXXI President [email protected] Learn the Gettysburg Address To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address, Ken Burns and PBS have launched a major national public outreach campaign to challenge everyone across the country, especially students, to video record themselves reading or reciting the Gettysburg Address. WXXI invites kids and adults of all ages to learn the 272- word Gettysburg Address, and from Jan. - March 2014. You can create your own video reciting or reading the speech and upload it to our web site, WXXI.org/the address. WXXI will also host mini-recording sessions for kids and adults interested in reciting or reading the famous speech in early spring. Stay tuned. The campaign will continue throughout the year and is inspired by the subject of Burns’ film THE ADDRESS, which tells the story of the Greenwood School in Putney, Vermont and its students — boys ages 11 to 17, all of whom face a range of learning differences — who each year are encouraged to memorize, Ken Burns practice and recite the Gettysburg Address. The film will air April 15, 2014 on WXXI-TV. N EW S & EVE NTS Credit: Courtesy of Rahoul Ghose/PBS
