The Lincoln Memorial at 100

On May 30, 1922, a majestic memorial to the "Great Emancipator" was dedicated in Washington, D.C., in front of a large, segregated crowd. Correspondent Faith Salie tells the story of how the Lincoln Memorial – symbolically carved from stone from across the United States – would only later become a symbol of inclusion, and a powerful platform for the healing of racial divides.
