Shoutouts!
I wanted to give a bit of a "shoutout" to other folks from Montgomery and surrounding areas who I consider fellow eyewitnesses to history.
The young people at Saint James High School: About 22 high school students boarded a bus Saturday evening bound for Washington, D.C. They don't have any special tickets and they're not marching in a parade. They're just going, like so many people who just want to be in Washington, D.C. for the inauguration of the 44th president. Have a safe trip guys, and please send me your pictures. Also, look for a story from our education/military reporter Jenn Rowell on these students sometime next week.
Ann Vernon: Mrs. Vernon is an instructor at Trenholm Tech who is going to some of the higher end events. She sent me a text message from the BET Awards last night, and I think she will get to go to a ball that BET is sponsoring. In addition she will attend the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Ball and a ball for Harvard Alumni (she has a relative that went to Harvard with the President-elect.)
Catherine and Taylor Flowers: This mother daughter duo are also going to some of the higher-end even and left on a plane headed for D.C. this weekend I believe. They will be blogging for the paper and sending us their reports.
To all these folks, have a safe trip, lots of fun and we'll see you soon!
Cassandra and Kynesha Brown: Just sent me an e-mail message today informing me they were on their way to Washington, D.C. and were planning to be an eyewitness for this project.
