The makers of this documentary invite viewers to compare the formal dedication of the Lincoln Memorial in 1922 to the gathering in front of the Lincoln Memorial on Easter Sunday, 1939. Please share your reflection on the comparison between these two events; that is, what are your main "take aways" from those parts of the film?

The main take way was the difference in meaning that both events had. The Lincoln memorial in 1922, was a time of major segregation as the blacks that were invited were taken to the back in the weeds. This moment was looked as a time that was changing history as the country was against what Lincoln fought for. The gathering on Easter Sunday was also a moment of change in history as over 75,000 people came to see Marian Anderson perform. Within that groups of 75,000 were public figures and was a diverse crowd of people. In 1922 I see It as tearing down of the history and more segregation, but 1939 was a moment of the US coming together.
