Well, in the South that kind of ended with official desegregation. Down here, “Lincoln” was used to name facilities that were specifically for Black folks.

For example, in 1976 “Durham Regional Hospital” opened to replace “Watts Hospital” and “Lincoln Hospital”.

Interesting. Was Lincoln hospital opened during reconstruction, or was it opened later and named mockingly?

Not mockingly, but named by people who were interested in providing health care to Black folks.
