Lincoln a Democrat ....well just more of the revisionist history. MLK was a Republican also. Just like they changed the character of Travon Martin from thug to great kid. They have no pride.

Historical Significance of Frank Lloyd Wright Building at Northeastern Illinois University

The Carruthers Center for Inner City Studies at Northeastern Illinois University is housed in a building that bears historical significance. From time to time, the integrity of a plaque honoring the memory of Abraham Lincoln is questioned. Installed in the building for its opening in 1905, the plaque includes an inscription of the word "democrat" following Abraham Lincoln's name. According to building archives, the word democrat was used because Lincoln was an advocate for democracy—the political or social equality of all people. The word was not chosen to reflect a political affiliation.
