A small city, 200 miles northwest of Buenos Aires, bears the name of the United States’ 16th president—Lincoln. To commemorate the namesake of their town, Harold Holzer, a Lincoln scholar and director of Roosevelt House, helped the town source a sculpture to display outside their city hall. The three-and-a-half-foot bust was made in New York, and unveiled in Lincoln, Argentina on April 15, 2019, the 154th anniversary of Lincoln’s death.
UPDATE: Hunter College will resume normal in-person instruction and campus operations on Wednesday, February 25, 2026. Students should attend classes as scheduled. Employees should report to work as usual. The Hunter community should continue to monitor email and the Hunter website for any additional updates. Read more.
