 ~     

 







 
 
 
 
 

There was music . . .









. . . performers




 



“I pledge allegiance to the flag 
of the United States of America, 
and to the republic for which it stands, 
one nation under God, indivisible, 
with liberty and justice for all.”

 

 

 

 

sang a medley:


 
"Una naciĆ³n bajo Dios, indivisible, 
con libertad y justicia para todos".












And Amanda Gorman recited her poem,





gave the Invocation
 



Then Joseph R. Biden, Jr. was sworn in by Chief Justice of the United States, John G. Roberts Jr. and inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States, the second Catholic president of the United States . . .   

 
 
 
 
. . . and Kamala Harris was inaugurated as the 49th vice president of the United States. She is the first female vice president of the United States, the highest-ranking female elected official in U.S. history, and the first African American and first Asian American vice president.

A grand parade followed





 



Along the way, Biden and his wife, teacher Jill Tracy Jacobs, got out of the car and walked the rest of the way to the White House.

















Of course, no inauguration is complete without fireworks! Katy Perry closed out the evening’s “Celebrating America” special with her song Firework (link below).
