Today was Memorial Day for 1922, the date at that time coming on May 30 and not being tied to a Sunday.
The day features national, and local, celebrations.
On this day in 1922, the Lincoln Memorial was dedicated.
The event drew many notables, including the surviving son of the late President, Robert Todd Lincoln.
Speeches were delivered by a collection of dignatories, including former President Taft and current President Harding.
One of the big events was the Indianapolis 500, then as now.
On the same day, Germany flew its flags at half-mast outside of the Reichstag over the loss of Upper Silesia.
Latvia signed a concordat with the Vatican, allowing Catholics freedom to practice their faith.
