Students in Mr. McGrath’s D.C. History class visited Ford’s Theatre on Tuesday. Students will learn about Lincoln’s assassination through the play, One Destiny. The play revisits the events of April 14, 1865 and reconstructs the sequence of events that lead up to Lincoln’s death and its aftermath. The play also grapples with the question about how could John Wilkes Booth have been stopped. Students will visit the Aftermath Exhibits at the museum across the street to get a better understanding about the plot to kill the president and how it affected the country.
