Crowds might not have been as big as in 2009 when Barack Obama was inaugurated as the first African-American president of the United States, but the crowds that turned out Monday, Jan. 21 to witness the inauguration for his second term were just as passionate.

President Barack Obama’s second inauguration will take place privately on Jan. 20 and publicly on Monday, Jan. 21, and the preceding weekend will be full of celebratory activities including the National Day of Service, a children’s concert, and two balls.
It was a star-studded afternoon on the national mall Sunday at the “We are One: Opening Inaugural Celebration.”
The Obama-mania that gripped America during one of the most exciting elections in U.S. history is beginning to simmer again in the run-up to the president-elect’s inauguration on January 20.
