Making History

Usually, many people travel to Washington, D.C., for a presidential inauguration. But not this time. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, crowds were limited. Instead, nearly 200,000 flags were planted on the National Mall. They stood for people who were unable to attend.

Three former presidents were there: Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton. So was the outgoing vice president, Mike Pence. President Trump did not go to the inauguration. He was the first outgoing president to skip the event in 152 years. Andrew Johnson skipped the inauguration in 1869.
