❝When I do good, I feel good.
When I do bad, I feel bad. That’s my religion.❞
Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States

☞ Do you know…

‣ This statue of #majestic size, about 60 feet high and weighing 175 ton, is located inside the “Lincoln Memorial” wich is part of the “National Mall” a monumental avenue located in Washington not far from the WhiteHouse.

‣ From that position, Lincoln is reserving the right and the obligation to never miss a political and social event. Because, the big area around this #colossal sculpture, in addition to hosting the US presidential inauguration, it’s the privileged place for various kinds of celebrations and protests, such as that by MartinLutherKing for the African Americans rights and the one against the Vietnam war.
