#InaugurationDay

A thread of key moments, insights, and primary sources that students might find interesting. #hsgovchat #sschat #edchat
The Bidens began the day with a private mass. Note that he invited Republican leaders in Congress. americamagazine.org/faith/2021/01/…
Meanwhile President Trump left the White House and opted not to be part of Inauguration Day. As always, follow @cspan for many clips like this throughout the day.
Before boarding Air Force One, President Trump likely spoke his last public words as president.
While President Trump is en route to FL, former presidents are being introduced. What a contrast.

These little moments before the inauguration always deeply move me as a government teacher. The symbolism of so many former presidents coming together to support the new president.
This will be a powerful visual for many reasons.
On the historical significance of today.
Thank you for your service.
Sen. Klobuchar and Sen. Blunt, a members of the Senate Inaugural Committee, set the context with explicit nods to the insurrection and the pandemic. inaugural.senate.gov/about-the-comm…
Also loved Fr. O’Donovan’s reference to Pope Francis on dreaming together.
So powerful to watch my wife as she watched this. History.
Question for student discussion: why was this song chosen?
Video of the Vice President’s oath.
A transcript of Biden’s inaugural address. So much for students to unpack here. npr.org/2021/01/20/956…
Student discussion: why was Garth Brooks chosen to sing Amazing Grace right after Biden?
Wow. Thank you Ms. Gordon.
Time for us to teach! Here's a terrific compilation of clips from @NewsHour: youtube.com/c/PBSNewsHour/… #hsgovchat #sschat
