Chuck Grassley and Dick Durbin at Judiciary Committee hearings in 2018. But there are reasons for hope, Durbin said, as evidenced by the way he has formed lasting friendships with key Republican Senate leaders such as Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham. I have a special friendship with Lindsey Graham that has endured through the years and people in Springfield cannot even understand why I say that, Durbin said. But he has helped me and I ve tried to help him if something s right. When I reintroduced the Dream Act I had one lead Republican cosponsor and it was Lindsey Graham. He told me he would do it and he did it.
I am proud to announce that the Roger and Chaz Ebert Foundation is joining the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum and the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation in presenting the inaugural No Malice Film Contest for Illinois youth and young adults. Young filmmakers between the ages of 11 and 21 are invited to create short films that explore and promote racial healing. The Roger and Chaz Ebert Foundation will help run the contest and select winners in three age groups. The project is funded through the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation with a grant from Healing Illinois, a racial healing initiative of the Illinois Department of Human Services in partnership with The Chicago Community Trust.
The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield will open back up to visitors today (Monday). After closing in November due to the rising number of COVID-19
