President Barack Obama's Inauguration was a history lesson some local kids will remember for the rest of their lives. As part of their assignment, Ella Grant Elementary School students watched history in the making as the Nation's 44th and first African-American President was sworn in. It's a history lesson that shows they can achieve any goal they put their mind to, " it inspires me to like think that I can do anything if I actually think about it ," said 5th Grader, Asia Matthews. One teacher says her students have been inspired by President Obama, and Tuesday's history lesson is so important because it lets them know they too can become President.
