Lincoln Memorial – 1917 vs. 2016
Abraham Lincoln’s influence on the United States today is well-known. Even though he was murdered more than 150 years ago, his legacy endures in the thoughts and emotions of Americans and the physical landscape of the country.
It’s remarkable to observe how much time 100 years can add to a location. The Lincoln Memorial is a highly revered and renowned site these days, but back in 1917, it didn’t appear to be doing too much for itself.
