Lincoln Memorial at 100 — Teacher Workshop Series

SESSION 1: The Lincoln Memorial Dedication

Wednesday, November 17, 2021
5:00 PM EST

National Mall and Memorial Parks rangers and their friends lead a teacher professional development series in honor of the completion of the Lincoln Memorial 100 years ago in 1922. Through 6 virtual, one-hour sessions for educators, learn about the history of the Memorial, the events that have taken place there, and how the meaning has evolved over time.

This first session explores the dedication event. President Warren Harding, at the 1922 Memorial dedication, said “this memorial…is less for Abraham Lincoln than for those of us today, and for those who follow after.” Explore this quotation through a virtual session about memorializing Abraham Lincoln, and consider ways that your students can participate in the 100th anniversary of the Lincoln Memorial in May 2022. This program is presented by the Trust for the National Mall in partnership with the National Mall and Memorial Parks Division of the National Park Service.
