For those who weren’t lucky enough to receive tickets to Barack Obama’s inauguration ceremony, fret not. It can be watched on a big screen with fellow New Yorkers at City Hall.
Come Jan. 20, City Council will set up big screen televisions in the city council chambers, the Committee Room and the rotunda. Doors open at 10:30 and the event will conclude after Obama makes his speech.
New Yorkers came out in unprecedented numbers to vote on Election Day. From Harlem to Times Square, celebrations filled the streets after Obama was announced the next president.
“I know that all New Yorkers are as thrilled as I am to see the historic swearing in of Barack Obama as our country’s 44th president,” said co-chair of the Black, Latino, and Asian Caucus Robert Jackson. “By opening up City Hall to everyone so that they may view this event, the city council is welcoming in all New Yorkers to share in this moment together and experience the power of service and change that government can bring.”
Those planning to attend should RSVP by Jan. 16. Call (212) 442-1649 or send an email to [email protected].
