Much ado about the Inauguration of a new President. Before we get caught up in the ceremonies and pageantry, let’s stop, listen to, watch, or read the President’s first speech. Let’s make sense of what he said on Tuesday — what changes does he intend to make, what are his thoughts on the economy and the war on terror? If he does what he says, will we see actual change? Did the President lay out a new vision for America and what’s your opinion of it? Was it the right speech for the time?
During this week’s Coffee & Conversation (January 23), let’s talk about the President’s first pronouncements. (If you have one, bring a copy of the speech.) We’ll gather on Friday, January 23, from 3-5 p.m. in the Howard Thurman Center with you and your best conversation. I hope we get a big crowd but it will be a challenge if 1.8 million show up.
