Honor a Leader at the Lincoln Memorial
🏛️ Overlooking the Reflecting Pool and standing beneath a neoclassical dome, the Lincoln Memorial honors the 16th U.S. president and his enduring legacy of unity, freedom, and leadership through crisis. The massive seated statue of Abraham Lincoln is surrounded by inscriptions of his most famous words, including the Gettysburg Address and his Second Inaugural Address. It’s more than a monument — it’s a space of reflection, used in historic moments like Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, and continues to be a symbol of democracy in action.

📚 Things you will learn
That leadership is not just about power — it’s about courage, compassion, and speaking truth in the face of division. Visiting the Lincoln Memorial helps you see how one person’s words and decisions can shape a nation's identity and inspire generations.
