It’s easy to imagine what this year’s Inauguration Day might look like outside of the coronavirus pandemic.
Tens of thousands would gather on the National Mall to catch a glimpse of the day’s festivities to mark the swearing in of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
Among the crowd, Black women representing the oldest African-American sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha, would flaunt the group’s signature pink and green colors and pearl necklaces to celebrate the ascension of their sorority sister to the vice presidency. They would be joined by other members of Black Greek-letter organizations to cheer and dance in spite of the winter cold.
