Mia Taylor of Seattle cries as she listens to President Barack Obama’s inaugural speech at The Northwest African American Museum in Seattle on Tuesday, January 20, 2009. Taylor said it’s moving to have someone that would have been turned away at a restaurant now serving as President of the United States.

Technical note- A packed room of people were sitting and standing in a dark room to watch Barack Obama be sworn in. There was a little light coming in from an open door and the light of the television screen. This photo was taken at  1/40 sec, f.2.8, 3200 ISO.
