content: The National Park Service unveils the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) Mary McLeod Bethune memorial statue in Lincoln Park [between Northeast and Southeast] Washington. I climbed up some Park Service scaffolding to get this shot. The workers looked the other way—they knew I wasn’t supposed to be up there. I got the best photos that day.
