The Lincoln Memorial was closed to visitors Saturday by the National Park Service after graduates of an elite college, reported to be Georgetown University, trashed the memorial with broken wine bottles, spilled champagne and litter. The trashing comes on the eve of next weekend’s 100th anniversary of the memorial’s dedication.

Photos from two years ago show Georgetown grads partying at the Lincoln Memorial.

Privilege – A disappointing scene down at the National Mall yesterday. Georgetown University students decided to have their own graduation celebration at the Lincoln Memorial, jumping in the pool, flouting social distance, and heckling people wearing masks. pic.twitter.com/ZgZeeZlPTr

Photos from the mid-2010s show a more respectful gathering.
