I've lost count of the number of movies and tv shows where the main characters, after being chewed up and spit out by the red tape systems that prevent change in legislature, went to have a heart-to-heart with Mr. Lincoln and were inspired to go back out and fight after having an epiphany in the prescence of his greatness. It seems to be the epitamy of the spirit of democracy and infuses those who visit it with that inspiration. At least, that's how I felt when visiting it as a little girl.Bevimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924337684790883853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323118066785311281.post-38564371755637678342013-04-14T17:05:50.082-05:002013-04-14T17:05:50.082-05:00It's pretty awe-inspiring when you see it in p...It's pretty awe-inspiring when you see it in person--pictures don't really do it justice! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00700737187405826842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323118066785311281.post-8341318541554305382013-04-14T05:35:14.446-05:002013-04-14T05:35:14.446-05:00It looks like a grand building... very impressive!...It looks like a grand building... very impressive!<br /><br /><a href="writer-in-transit.co.za/" rel="nofollow">Writer In Transit</a>Michelle Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02750092836481599870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323118066785311281.post-18417230293316144852013-04-13T19:37:22.577-05:002013-04-13T19:37:22.577-05:00Lots of goodies in the works! :)Lots of goodies in the works! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00700737187405826842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323118066785311281.post-17393881670891369452013-04-13T19:37:11.830-05:002013-04-13T19:37:11.830-05:00Did you get to see the plaque on the steps?
