Hear Tom Conti as Abraham Lincoln recorded for the Talking Statues project which launched in London and Manchester on Tuesday 19 August 2014. Tom explained that: 'It’s always fun to tell people something they may not have heard and certainly I’d never heard that Abraham Lincoln had any connection to Manchester or indeed that the people of Manchester made the sacrifice that they did.' You can hear this recording as well if you visit the statue of Abraham Lincoln situated near Mulberry Street, Manchester.
