A Friend Stopped By | 01/20/2009 4:17 pm
Witness To History
wOw friend Faye Perkins was at the inauguration today and sent us the following note - and this incredible picture!
"Here’s a picture from where we stood in the north viewing area. We
could see about half of the jumbo screen but it was enough to see who
was speaking. The sound system was great, so we didn’t miss a word of
the ceremony.
My 76 year old neighbor Paul stood beside me with tears
in his eyes as Obama took the oath. Paul was at MLK’s "I have a dream"
speech in ‘63 and has been a civil rights proponent his whole life. For
Paul and many others in the crowd, Obama’s inauguration is the
realization of MLK’s speech and a life of public service."
