The volume includes Senator Klobuchar's own introductory remarks from that day, Barack Obama's inaugural address for historical context, and the foundational texts of American democracy: the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Klobuchar offers readers a way to revisit this pivotal moment when democratic institutions withstood unprecedented challenges.
