New quote, to replace Adams, #22:
"Nothing is more important to America than citizenship; there is more assurance of our future in the individual character of our citizens than in any proposal I, and all the wise advisers I can gather, can ever put into effect in Washington." Warren G. Harding

BIO: Warren G. Harding was President from 1921-23, after serving one term as the U.S. Senator from Ohio. A conservative Republican, Harding campaigned on a "Return to Normalcy" and "America First." In his inaugural address, he said: "Our most dangerous tendency is to expect too much from the government and at the same time do too little for it."

Is OK, but nice if sharper. **This was the highest res I could find unfortunately** -I'd move #18 toward the back. Have another Barbara Jordan quote coming up in #20, and better image there. -wrong quote for #20 -Should separate images 20 and 22 more. Both B&W at bus station. -Is higher res version of #23 available? **I believe this is the highest resolution we have. Elaine? Yes.** -possible image to replace #32 (which repeats image used in #7) **Have a new image here, let's push this one through to the final round of review.** [] -wrong quote for #33. -I'd separate 34, 35, 36 a little more. All three images of Capitol. -I'd move back #43 a bit. Similar to other Dirksen quote a few images earlier. -I'd separate 51 and 53 images a bit. Somewhat similar look. -wrong quote for #54 -Move #55 to somewhere in the first 10 images. Great Brandeis quote. -I'd separate 60 and 61 a bit. Similar shaped images. -I'd switch #63 to be #64- JFK quote nice way to end, and move up the RFK image (now #64) to some earlier spot so not so close to JFK. Images didn't come up for 48, 62
 * 19 U.S. Capitol and Senate office building, c1930(?)(ELAINE- Can you track down better date somehow?) (MASON: Can we reverse this image? It's backwards.) This is an AOC image -- I think from Mason. I don't have any information on the image -- do you, Mason? **
 * 42 U.S. Capitol, c1920 (?) (ELAINE- Can you track down better date somehow?) The only information on the Library site is that the photo is from [between 1918 and 1920]. I think the Library would have the best information available. **
