A woman on the bus, who said she had been a tour guide in the city for 30 years, told us about the racial climate in the city before Obama's presidency begins.
"Ignorance has been taught to children for years, there are towns and schools out there with no African-Americans," she said. She talked to us for quite a few blocks about how race has divided America and how this Inauguration will bring it into focus nationally.
As we got off the bus, the driver reminded us that there are many people who feel the same as this woman.
