“As
we bring Americans together for a historic
and inclusive inauguration of
President-elect Biden and Vice
President-elect Harris, we want to ensure
that we are engaging folks of all ages and
bringing families together in their homes
to celebrate a new beginning for the
country and an America united,” said PIC
CEO and Delaware State University
President Dr. Tony Allen.
Over the course of five days of programming, “America United” inaugural activities will honor our traditions while safely allowing more Americans than ever before to participate from their own homes. These activities include, “United We Serve,” a National Day of Service on January 18, Martin Luther King Jr. Day; a nationwide COVID-19 Memorial to Lives Lost on January 19; and the official Inaugural Ceremonies, a wreath laying on Arlington National Cemetery, and a “Parade Across America” on January 20. The events will culminate with the “Celebrating America” program. The PIC will also install an extensive public art display — a “Field of Flags,” which will cover the National Mall up to 13th Street — to represent the American people who are unable to travel to Washington, DC.
