LinkLinks DCist: The Lincoln Statue In Capitol Hill Has Become A Monument To Public Debate Itself By Editor On Jul 2, 2020 Last updated Jul 2, 2020 16 Share On a calm, late-June evening in Lincoln Park, a handful of U.S. Park Police officers stand around the perimeter. Couples walk their dogs and groups of people on picnic blankets dot the park, where two bronze sculptures sit in the middle. One statue depicts President Abraham Lincoln holding the Emancipation Proclamation in one hand and extending the other over a kneeling, formerly enslaved person with shackles on his wrists, ostensibly torn from any chains they were once attached to. 16 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
