History met history on this day as Americans across the country celebrated both President Barack Obama's second inauguration and Martin Luther King Jr. Day. At the nation's capital, President Barack Obama raised his right hand and placed his left on bibles once owned by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Abraham Lincoln as he was welcomed into his second term. Meanwhile, miles away in New York's Rockaways community, volunteers placed both their two hands on shovels, hammers, and wheel barrels for a Day of Service alongside St. Bernard Project, New York Cares, AmeriCorps and MTV Act.
