Washington, DC (from the pages of Great Destinations: Washington, DC)
The Lincoln Memorial is such an iconic place—not only because of the memorial to Lincoln but also because of all the memorial has meant throughout U.S. history. It was the site of the Martin Luther King Jr. "I Have a Dream Speech," and has been the backdrop to countless other political demonstrations through the years. (It was also featured prominently in one of my favorite movies: Forrest Gump!)—Debbie K. Hardin
