National Park Service Announces Plan to Turn Abraham Lincoln Statue Around - National Mall and Memorial Parks (U.S. National Park Service)

As the Lincoln Memorial approaches its 100th anniversary in May of this year, the National Park Service has unveiled a proposal to ensure the preservation of the colossal statue of the nation’s 16th president well into its second century. Under a plan announced this morning, the seated marble figure of Abraham Lincoln would be rotated 180 degrees, so that the backside of the statue would face the colonnaded entrance to the memorial.

I wonder what this will cost?

According to the article, the measure is temporary.

Just IMO tho, most or all of this will end up being scrapped for a different plan.

I am relieved that the powers-that-be will let the statue remain there.

Some activists are not pleased with Mr. Lincoln.

They would probably like the statue to be shipped to a (private) museum.

Then they could replace his statue with a statue of one of their own heroes.

A lot of us are waiting for men who aren't crazy.
