Cecil Johnson, from the Black Republican Club of Rochester, is excited to attend, seeing it as a historic moment. He hopes for a shift in policies that empower people. Marcus C. Williams, another member of the club, is thrilled as it’s his first presidential inauguration. He views it as a chance to bring power back to the people.
