The statue of Abraham Lincoln statue has sat at atop Bascom Hill on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus for more than a century. The statue is a replica of Adolph A. Weinman's original, erected in Hodgenville, Ky., where Lincoln was born. Lincoln is considered a patron of the university because he signed the Morrill Act in 1862 to provide federal aid to land-grant colleges such as UW-Madison.
Rubbing Abe’s extended foot is said to bring good luck. In another tradition, graduates celebrate by climbing atop his lap in cap and gown for a photograph.

Thinking about an old friend and a fine writer: Gilbert Hines. We often appeared at open poetry readings and drank together. One night he brought over a fifth of aquavit, and discussed embarking on a collaboration that took an honest look at race in America. Sadly, we never got to work on that project because Gilbert became ill. A misdiagnosis left him with inoperable prostate cancer. He went into seclusion, and died shortly thereafter.
One of my favorite pieces of Gilbert's was about the community barbershops in the area of 52nd Street in West Philly. So I'm dedicating this image to him.
