Students Take Part in March Toward Change
On Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2009, about 2 million men, women and children gathered on the National Mall to be a part of history. Interspersed throughout the crowd — which braved long lines, freezing temperatures and 3 a.m. wake-up calls to see Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) become the 44th president of the United States — were clusters of Georgetown students who had made the trek from the Hilltop.
