The Lincoln Memorial, completed in 1922 on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., is the setting here, with its white Doric columns and seated statue of Abraham Lincoln rising above a sea of visitors spread across the grounds. Crowds gathering at the memorial have long marked moments of national significance, most famously the 1963 March on Washington, when hundreds of thousands assembled there to press for civil rights. Pictures like this one capture how the site drew people not just as a monument to be admired but as a public stage for gatherings and speeches. Look closely at the size of the crowd relative to the building to appreciate the scale of the Mall.
