Obama honors Lincoln
US President Barack Obama on Wednesday made a poignant pilgrimage to "hallowed" Ford's Theater where his political hero, president Abraham Lincoln was cut down by an assassin's bullet.
Obama's historical status as America's first black president is forming a circle-closing undertone to 200th birth anniversary celebrations of Lincoln, the president instrumental in abolishing slavery.
