Getting ready for the Inauguration

The World

As the nation prepares for the inauguration, the excited attendees are already streaming onto the National Mall. The Takeaway’s Andrea Bernstein is there to report on the mood of those lucky enough to be in D.C. today. We are also joined by The Takeaway’s contributor Patrik Henry Bass with his thoughts on the day when America will swear in the first African-American to lead the nation. Patrik Henry Bass is the Senior Editor of Essence magazine and the author of Like A Mighty Stream: The March on Washington, August 28, 1963.
