On January 20, 2009 Barack Obama was inaugurated in as the 44th President of the United States of America. I was eleven years old, a fifth grader in Mrs. Crawford’s class. I clearly remember all students gathered in the library, as a bulky television rolled in on a black cart that we used before projectors and Smart Boards were implemented in public schools.
