The Lincoln Memorial, situated in Washington, D.C., stands as a revered monument dedicated to Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States. This iconic structure has been the site of many significant events in American history, including Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech. Designed by architect Henry Bacon to resemble a Greek Doric temple, the memorial houses a large seated sculpture of Lincoln, created by Daniel Chester French, and murals painted by Jules Guerin, all symbolizing the principles of freedom, justice, and unity that Lincoln strived to uphold.
