Reflecting Pool

Italy

The view from the Lincoln Memorial, with the 2,000 ft Reflecting Pool in the foreground and the Washington Monument just behind, and the Capitol Building in the distance, is famous and not to be missed. This was the setting for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s I Have a Dream speech, which he gave from t

he steps of the memorial over a crowd of 200,000 that didn't fit very well—many of them stood in the pool itself!
