3. PUBLIC CONCERTS
3、公众音乐会
In today’s heightened state of domestic security, it’s hard to imagine the White House once allowed Washington, D.C. residents to freely gather on the South Lawn for a concert. However, when President Abraham Lincoln and wife Mary were suffering the loss of their 11-year-old son in 1862, Mary insisted the band skip that summer, which led to some protests from the community. After a condensed schedule in 1863 at Lafayette Square, the band resumed in 1864.
在当今国内安全不断加强的情况下，很难想象白宫曾允许华盛顿特区的居民随意聚集在南草坪上听音乐会。然而，当亚伯拉罕·林肯总统和他的妻子玛丽在1862年失去他们11岁的儿子的时候，在那个夏天，玛丽坚持要停止乐队活动，这导致社区内发生了几次抗议行动。1863年拉菲特广场发生了几次密集的抗议活动之后，1864年又恢复了乐队活动。
