let s listen to the toasts, part of the tradition of inauguration day. this inaugural luncheon, the joint congressional committee on inaugural ceremonies has been pleased to host this lunch at least since 1953, with president eisenhower. in 1981, president reagan s first inauguration, the lunch took its current form and moved to this grand hall, the national statuary hall which served until 1857 as the chamber of the house of representatives. the statues that line the hall of this room were placed throughout the capitol and recognize important figures in our national history. the collection and statuary hall doesn t change very often but actually, since this lunch was held the last time, it s had several additions. rosa parks is now in statuary, she is of course seated rather than standing as she should be.
