Oregon

LaVerne Green, 60, a speech teacher in Portland, said her grandfather took her to the March On Washington when she was 13 years old, and told her there would come a day when a black man would be president. Today Green said, "I'm not even touching the ground." Here she watches the inauguration with her cousin Rayray Crain, 11 (right) and fellow student Mikale Carter.
