Video of ceremony at Ford's/Petersen House on 4/15

NPS and Ford's didn't want the Catholic conspiracy guy there. He was talked to by NPS Rangers and D.C. Police but he asserted his right to stand there and was not causing a disturbance so they couldn't do anything. He just stood there with his sign all night chatting with people who came up to him trying to hawk a poorly written and completely unsubstantiated book from the 1890's. The news crews used it since it was a nice picture of Lincoln and they were likely unaware of what the point of the display was.
