“Light as a feather.”
That’s how small-business owner Manny Yekutiel described feeling as he watched Joseph R. Biden become president Wednesday on the Capitol steps, a spot where just two weeks prior, a mob wreaked havoc in an attempt to overturn the election results. Yekutiel, owner of Manny’s Cafe in San Francisco’s Mission District, hosted a virtual inauguration watch party with hundreds of attendees.
“It was inspiring,” Yekutiel said about Biden’s 22-minute inaugural address, in which the newly installed president offered a message of unity and renewal to a country in the midst of a deadly pandemic and after a turbulent four years. “Poignant and powerful. I watched history unfold with my fellow Americans.”
