The opening of the Lincoln Memorial in 1922 was met with mixed reactions from African Americans. While many celebrated the memorial as a tribute to President Abraham Lincoln’s role in ending slavery and advancing civil rights, there was also frustration over the lack of representation and inclusion in the design and dedication ceremonies. Prominent African American figures, including activist and scholar W.E.B. Du Bois, criticized the memorial for its failure to acknowledge the ongoing struggles for racial equality. Ultimately, the monument became a symbol of hope and a site for civil rights activism, notably during the 1963 March on Washington.
