Dedication Of Lincoln Memorial 

On May 30, 1922, William Howard Taft dedicated the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

In 1860, Leonard Volk made plaster masks of Abraham Lincoln’s face and hands. Two days earlier, the Illinois lawyer had learned he was the Republican Party’s presidential nominee. Neither man could have known Lincoln would be assassinated five years later or that Volk’s casts would be used to create a monument to the fallen leader.

Plans for a national monument to Abraham Lincoln were discussed as early as 1867. However, the post-Civil War Reconstruction and the search for an appropriate location took decades. In 1914, on Lincoln’s 105th birthday, the first stone was laid.

The monument was dedicated eight years later on May 30, 1922, with Lincoln’s only surviving child, Robert Todd Lincoln, in attendance. Per President Warren G. Harding’s instructions, the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (MOLLUS) coordinated the dedication ceremonies that day, and has arranged all commemorations there since (usually held on Lincoln’s birthday, February 12.)

Some 50,000 people were present for the ceremony, which was presided over by former President and then Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, William Howard Taft. Previously, Taft had led the commission that arranged for the memorial’s creation.

The keynote speaker of the dedication was Dr. Robert Russo Moton, president of the Tuskegee Institute. Speaking the largely white and segregated audience, Moton asked the audience to seriously consider Lincoln’s hope for a “new birth of freedom.” Then President Harding addressed the crowd, a speech that was broadcast on an experimental radiophone created by the U.S. Navy.
