The Lincoln Memorial was dedicated on May 30, 1922, in a ceremony attended by more than 50,000 people, including Abraham Lincoln’s only surviving son, Robert Todd Lincoln. Pres. Warren G. Harding and Supreme Court Justice William Howard Taft also attended the ceremony, which despite Lincoln’s position as the “Great Emancipator,” the ceremony was segregated.
