Apple TV+’s Lincoln's Dilemma

Jelani Cobb and Kellie Carter Jackson in Conversation with NY1's Cheryl Wills

Feb 23, 2022


Join New Yorker staff writer Jelani Cobb and award-winning historian Kellie Carter Jackson with NY1 anchor Cheryl Wills for a fresh look at Abraham Lincoln’s journey toward ending slavery — and the new Apple TV+ documentary Lincoln’s Dilemma. Based on David S. Reynolds’ award-winning book Abe: Abraham Lincoln in His Times, the new series — featuring interviews with Cobb, Jackson, and a diverse range of Lincoln scholars — looks not only at Lincoln’s complex character, but gives voice, nuance, and depth to the narratives of the enslaved people he sought to free. Hear Cobb and Jackson discuss how Lincoln came to sign the Emancipation Proclamation — what helped his stance on slavery evolve, the political headwinds that he faced, his legacy in contemporary America, and more. ​Lincoln’s Dilemma is available on Apple TV+ beginning Friday, February 18. This event is part of a new pro-democracy initiative, 92Y’s Newmark Civic Life Series.
