WE ARE ONE
The 56th Presidential Inauguration is going to be anything but ordinary. The opening celebration is to begin on Sunday January 18th (7:00-9:00 p.m. ET/PT) at the Lincoln Memorial.
The event has been given the slogan, "We Are One." This seems only fitting due to the patriotism and devotion the famous, the infamous, and other hopeful onlookers will unquestionably feel for President Elect Barack Obama at this historical event.
The initial talent lineup includes Bono, Bruce Springstein, will.i.am, Herbie Hancock, John Mellencamp, Stevie Wonder, John Legend, as well as many others.
Historical passages will be read by Jamie Foxx, Martin Luther King III, Queen Latifah, and Denzel Washington.
In addition, the invocation speech will be given by Gene Robinson. Robinson is an openly gay Episcopal bishop, who has been an Obama supporter from the start.
The Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) states that," The Sunday afternoon performance will be grounded in history and brought to life with entertainment that relates to the themes that shaped Barack Obama and which will be the hallmarks of his administration."
This Inauguration for the 44th President will be the most inclusive ever. It will bring "we the people" together to welcome Obama with a new feeling of hope, ultimately making all onlookers proud to be an American, for the first time many can even remember.
