Standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial, I felt awe — and confusion. A tour group beside me called it “a symbol of freedom.” But my Uber driver, a Black man in his 50s, later told me, “Freedom didn’t come for everyone.” His words stayed with me. D.C. is full of monuments, but walking through it feels like hearing two versions of the same story — one polished, one painful. Maybe that’s America itself. #Travel #Politics
