Everyone looked to Washington, DC on Tuesday January 19,as Barack Obama was officially inaugurated the 44th President of the United States of America and the first African American to be President in America this was a historical moment for both African Americans and Whites.More than a million people crowded the National mall in the freezing temperature. This historical event took place on the steps of the capitol building. Joe Biden was sworn in first. Then it was time for Obama to be sworn in he placed his hand on the same Bible that Abraham Lincoln used at his fist Inauguration. At the end of the ceremony, the Obamas bid the Bushes farewell. Afther that the first family went to a luncheon. Then they went to a parade and 10 Inaugural balls only for the fist lady and the new president. On Wednesday, his work will begin.

In my Opinion this is a historical moment for America. Martin Luther King will be proud but we still have a long way a head of us. We all hope that we can find altinative energy for cars.
