My Inaugural Weekend

If you don't have HBO on cable, your local NPR station may be carrying the concert on the National Mall. It's a terrific bill. If your NPR local station isn't carrying it, NPR is streaming it live until 5:00 p.m. est. HBO Online is rebroadcasting the concert, even for non-subscribers, at 10:30 p.m. est and pst.

Tomorrow, I'm meeting Emory's Michael Elliott to attend the annual Martin Luther King birthday celebration at Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church. I expect to spend Tuesday in front of my television at home, watching the inauguration of Barack Obama as President of the United States. It was a distant vision when Michael Kazin, Joyce Appleby and I organized"Historians for Obama" in late November 2007. Thank you, America.
