"In this temple
as in the hearts of the people
for whom he saved the Union
the memory of Abraham Lincoln
is enshrined forever."
[Inscription on deck above the grand staircase:]

Martin Luther King, Jr.
The March on Washington
for Jobs and Freedom
August 28, 1963
[Panel on terrace below the grand staircase:]

The Federal Union of the States,
at the heart of Lincoln's purpose,
is symbolized in his Memorial
by 36 columns beneath the names
of the 36 States composing
the Union in his lifetime.
When the Memorial was designed, the
Union included the 48 States
named on the attic frieze.
A generation later, in 1959
ALASKA and HAWAII
attained Statehood fully
joining their destinies with
the United States of America
E Pluribus Unum
