Share Your Gettysburg Address Video

November 19, 2013 marks the 150th anniversary of President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.

Documentarian Ken Burns has a new project online asking Americans to help celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address. And you can help.

The Nov. 19, 1863 address, President Abraham Lincoln's dedication to a new cemetery at the battle site, is just 272 words long, but has endured as one of the greatest presidential speeches of all time. 

Burns has started Learn The Address, a gallery showcasing Americans reading the Gettysburg Address. You can also download a copy of the speech and upload your own video reading the address. 

Burns and PBS will air a special about the Gettysburg Address on Nov. 19.
