On Lincoln's birthday, BILL MOYERS JOURNAL takes a unique
look at our nation's 16th president - through the eyes of
critically acclaimed, veteran dance artist Bill T. Jones. In a
groundbreaking work of choreography called Fondly Do We Hope
... Fervently Do We Pray , Jones reimagines a young Lincoln in
his formative years through dance. Bill Moyers speaks with Jones
about his creative process, his insights into Lincoln and how dance
can give us fresh perspective on America's most-studied president.
"The number of ways in which one could ask the question 'Who was
this man?' is less interesting to me than 'Can we see that man
anywhere in ourselves or around us right now?'" says Jones.
