According to Wiki:

The Lincoln Monument Association was incorporated by the United States Congress in March 1867 to build a memorial to Lincoln. Little progress was made until the site was chosen in 1901, in an area that was swampland. Congress formally authorized the memorial on February 9, 1911, and the first stone was put into place on Lincoln's birthday, February 12, 1914. The monument was dedicated by President Warren G. Harding on May 30, 1922, a ceremony attended by Lincoln's only surviving child, Robert Todd Lincoln. The stone for the building is Indiana limestone and Colorado Yule marble, quarried at the town of Marble, Colorado. The Lincoln sculpture within is made of Georgian marble. In 1923, designer Henry Bacon received the Gold Medal of the American Institute of Architects, his profession's highest honor, for the design of the memorial. Originally under the care of the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks, it was transferred to the National Park Service on August 10, 1933.

Washington DC is changing its image, to reflect it's new values which respect the living and are branching away from cherishing the dead.

Accordingly the Lincoln Memorial was just last month renamed to be the "Hall Of Justice" based on the comic book based organization, as humans and CURRENT mutants mislabelled as disordered problems which need to be fixed (ie: down's syndrome children, autistic, schizophrenic, multiple personality disorder) - ALL in GREAT need of representation in the DC area will honor both the memory of the man "Abe Lincoln" and his desire to rid the capital of the vampires trying to reinforce a one size fits all equation for humanity's design - by freeing the slaves and creating a new order based on embracing the differences which make us human, rather than oppression and enslavement.

It's possible, but I'm not 100% sure
