SUMMARY:‘Unsinkable Freedom’ Movie at ALPLM
DESCRIPTION:Print \nThe Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum caps off its celebration of Black History Month by introducing a new short film recounting the exciting story of Robert Smalls\, who used his wits and seamanship to lead 15 people on a daring escape from slavery. \n“Unsinkable Freedom” begins running at the museum on February 27\, a day after its world premiere at a special event. It will run every 15 minutes throughout the museum’s day for the next three months. \nSmalls was an enslaved man in Charleston\, SC\, when the Civil War began.  He was forced to work aboard the Confederate ship Planter in Charleston Harbor and nearby coastal waters.  On May 12\, 1862\, Smalls and the other enslaved men were left aboard ship by white officers.  Seizing the opportunity\, they launched a long-simmering plan to sneak their families aboard and sail to freedom. \n“Unsinkable Freedom” dramatizes that dangerous trip.  The 11-minute film shows how Smalls got the families aboard\, impersonated the ship’s captain\, sailed past Confederate checkpoints and finally reached U.S. Navy ships and freedom. \n“Very few stories can match the escape of Robert Smalls for both drama and inspiration\,” said Christina Shutt\, executive director of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum.  “He risked everything to win freedom for his friends and loved ones.  And after their escape\, he served with the U.S. Navy and was later elected to Congress. We at the ALPLM are proud to tell part of his amazing story.” \n“Unsinkable Freedom” was written and directed by Kameron Gates\, an artist and animator based in Petersburg\, Illinois.  It stars ALPLM actor Reggie Guyton as Smalls. \nThe film was created using a hybrid of production techniques from animation\, VFX and video games.  It has a hyper-wide aspect ratio to take advantage of the three screens surrounding audiences in the museum’s Mr. Lincoln Theater.  It also features 5.1 surround sound. \nThe actors’ faces and body performances were recorded using motion capture.  Additional animation was created using classic keyframe techniques.  The historic Charleston Harbor was built and rendered inside Unreal Engine a tool created for video games that has expanded into visual effects for TV and film. \nThe mission of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is to inspire civic engagement through the diverse lens of Illinois history and share with the world the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln.  We pursue this mission through a combination of rigorous scholarship and high-tech showmanship built on the bedrock of the ALPLM’s unparalleled collection of historical materials – roughly 13 million items from all eras of Illinois history. \nFor more information\, visit www.PresidentLincoln.illinois.gov.  You can follow the ALPLM on Facebook\, X/Twitter and Instagram.

SUMMARY:The Frosted Republic - How Illinois Taught America to Celebrate with Cake
DESCRIPTION:PrintThe Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site presents The Frosted Republic- How Illinois Taught America to Celebrate with Cake.  This event will be in the Visitor Center Auditorium on Saturday\, April 25\, at 2:00 p.m. \n\nCake is more than dessert; it’s a reflection of who we are and how we celebrate.  “The Frosted Republic” traces Illinois’ surprising role in shaping America’s sweet traditions — from Wilton’s early classrooms in Roseland\, to Duncan Hines’ Chicago food guides\, to Sara Lee’s Downers Grove bakery that made celebration accessible to every freezer aisle.  Together\, these stories reveal how Illinois became a quiet engine of cultural joy\, teaching the nation to express love\, resilience\, and creativity through buttercream\, boxed mixes\, and pound cakes. \nIn this Illinois Humanities Road Scholar Presentation\, Chef Lori Parrett leads audiences through this history as both pastry chef and storyteller\, blending archival research\, lived experience\, and visual demonstration.  Using slides\, vintage imagery\, and a few edible artifacts\, she invites participants to see cake decorating as both craft and cultural record—evidence of migration\, ingenuity\, and the art of making do. \nWarm\, interactive\, and grounded in Illinois history\, “The Frosted Republic” reminds audiences that every piped rose and every slice shared tells a story about who we are and how we celebrate together. \nThe Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site is located at 402 South Lincoln Highway Road\, near Lerna. \nTo contact them\, call 217-345-1845 or visit lincolnlogcabin.org
