The Lincoln Memorial steps are the setting here, with a speaker addressing a seated crowd spread across the grounds below the great columns. The memorial was dedicated in 1922, and from the start its broad terrace drew gatherings of every kind, from civic ceremonies to demonstrations and mass rallies. Pictures like this one capture how the site became a national stage, where ordinary people sat in the open air to hear public figures speak about the country's future.
