The Lincoln Memorial, with its colonnade of white marble columns, serves as the backdrop for this scene of a speaker addressing a row of seated dignitaries and a large crowd. The memorial was dedicated in 1922, and from the start it became a favored stage for public gatherings, especially those that invoked Abraham Lincoln's legacy on civil rights and national unity. Many notable speeches and ceremonies were held on its steps over the decades, so the setting itself tells a story about how Americans have used the monument to speak to the nation.
