Oprah Attends Barack Obama Inauguration

January 21, 2009 by Jeanne  

Oprah Winfrey, who stands in the image below at the side of Reverend Jesse Jackson, attended the inauguration of President Barack Obama in Washington, D.C. yesterday. 

Oprah Winfrey, center, talks with Jesse Jackson on the west front of the Capitol during the 56th Inaugural where Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States, January 20, 2009.

Like so many, Oprah braved the cold to be a part of the historic event.  I wish I could have been there!  It’s particularly touching to see Jesse Jackson since he was standing next to Martin Luther King Jr on that horrible day when he was assassinated, was a huge part of the civil rights movement and also ran for president in 1984 and 1988 (I can remember watching his debate!).
