To commemorate and share the history of the Riot, a three-day event has been put together for March 28-30, 2014, in Charleston.&nbsp; The event is free, with the exception of the Saturday dinner, where tickets are $30 (I heard about a week ago they were close to selling out).&nbsp; There are a variety of activities planned over the three-day period.&nbsp; The dinner on Saturday night will feature noted Lincoln scholar, Harold Holzer, who is a fantastic and entertaining speaker (well worth the $30 admission!).&nbsp;
