360 at the Lincoln Memorial

Lincoln Memorial II, by Jmark99

Studio 360 -- My favorite public radio program/podcast-- has a great segment on the Lincoln Memorial on the national mall in Washington. They look at the campaigns to get it built, the campaigns to keep it from being built and it's role as a secular temple to democracy and civil rights. If you have any admiration for Abraham Lincoln at all, give it a listen.

Listen to the whole show here. One segment is embedded below if you're in a hurry.
