Unable to sleep, President Richard Nixon made a late night visit to the Lincoln Memorial 54 years ago today. Under pressure from protests against the escalation of the Vietnam War and the killing of four students at Kent State University by the National Guard earlier in the week, Nixon wanted to get out of the White House. When he asked his valet Manolo Sanchez if he had ever seen the Lincoln Memorial at night and he replied no, Nixon insisted on going.

Nixon arrived at the memorial around 4:30 am with Sanchez, his doctor, and a small Secret Service detail. As he walked past the statue and Lincoln's speeches, a small crowd of students gathered around him. According to the President, he encouraged them to be patriotic, to see the world, consider their futures, and understand his difficult task. The students, reporters, and staff around him later said he was nervous, trying to connect to the younger people with talk of football and the architecture of Prague. As the sun rose, Nixon got back in his car and sped away. For all involved, it was a surreal experience.

The Lincoln Memorial remains open 24 hours a day for anyone seeking a moment of quiet reflection or a chance encounter with strangers.
