The Lincoln Memorial is a grand US national memorial built to honor the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. Located on the western end of the National Mall, the building takes the form of a classic Greek Doric temple and houses a massive seated sculpture of Lincoln. The interior walls are inscribed with his most famous speeches, the Gettysburg Address and his Second Inaugural Address. Since its dedication in 1922, the memorial has been the site of many historic events, most notably Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963. It serves as a powerful symbol of unity, freedom, and the enduring struggle for civil rights. The reflecting pool in front of the monument adds to its solemn and majestic atmosphere, making it one of the most visited sites in the capital.
