#Rediscovery. Howard wants to see the United States in a new way: through the eyes of his son. To do so, he takes his recently adopted son all over the US. As an admirer of #Lincoln, especially his ability to phrase things in a few words, Howard took him to #Springfield for Lincoln. He offered me a ride in town. At #Lincolntomb, he carries his son so that he can touch the famous Lincoln's #nose. The legend says soldiers from Springfield touched the nose before departing for World War II and came back home safely. It became an omen of #luck and most visitors touch the nose before entering the tomb. Hence the gold color of the nose. #superstition #goodluck #americanpilgrimages #PelerinagesAmericains #travel #usa

From #Lincoln to #MartinLutherKing. Washington DC honors Lincoln with a memorial shaped like a Greek temple. Inside, one can read: "In this temple as in the hearts of the people for whom he saved the union, the memory of Abraham Lincoln is enshrined forever." Lincoln is thus honored for keeping the States together during the Civil War. But Lincoln Memorial also attracts pilgrims for having abolished slavery. That's why Martin Luther King chose this site to give his famous "I have a dream" speech in 1963. Dr King started his speech saying "Five scores years ago", which is a clear reference to Lincoln's 1863 address in Gettysburg. The Gettysburg address is written on a wall inside the temple. In this text, Lincoln reinforces that the US was from the start "dedicated to the proposition that all men were created equal". Lincoln fought for this to become a reality, as Martin Luther King did one century later. #nofilter #americanpilgrimages #PelerinagesAmericains #lincolnpilgrimage #abrahamlincoln #abelincoln #lincolnmemorial #ihaveadream #dusk #pinksky #USA #America #washington #washingtonDC #temple #architecture #famousspeech #gettysburg #gettysburgaddress #activism #pilgrimage #historicsite #AmericanHistory #marchonwashington #drking #civilrights
