El Memorial de Lincoln es un monumento de origen griego que se construyo en 1922 en honor al 16 presidente de Estados Unidos. Se construyo 50 anos despues de su asesinato y fue el presidente que abolio la esclavitud en America.
Aqui fue que Martin Luther King dio su famoso discurso 5 dias antes de su asesinato "Yo Tengo un Sueno" y multiples protestas como con la guerra de Vietnan se dieron aqui. Lincoln fue uno de los mas grandes hombres de este Pais, yo creo que el mas importante.
