Mayors of seven Illinois cities joined C-SPAN in announcing the historical re-enactments of the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debates in their entirety. The debates will be sponsored and staged by the local communities. Brian Lamb moderated the news conference that was held to announce the re-enactments and to mark C-SPAN’s 15th anniversary. C-SPAN will cover all of the re-enacted debates. Each of the mayors discussed his town’s plans for the re-enactments, including those who plan to perform during the debates. These will commemorate the 136th anniversary of the Lincoln-Douglas Debates held throughout Illinois during the 1858 state legislature election campaign. close
