At the dedication of the Gettysburg National Cemetery in southern Pennsylvania on
November 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address.
This 270-word speech is considered one of the greatest in American history, though it
didn't receive much attention at the time.
Equal Opportunity Day is observed at Gettysburg National Cemetery each year, where
ceremonies commemorating Lincoln's address are held under the sponsorship of the Sons
of Union Veterans and the Lincoln Fellowship of Pennsylvania.
Sometimes this day is referred to as Gettysburg Address Day.
