On today's Special Edition of Midday, Tom hall hosts WYPR's live coverage of the historic Inaugural Ceremonies at the State House in Annapolis, as Governor-elect Wes Moore and Lt. Governor-elect Aruna Miller are sworn in, and deliver their inaugural addresses.
We get live reports and background during the event from WYPR News reporter Matt Bush and Rachel Baye in Annapolis.
And we get analysis and context from Dr. Terry Anne Scott, an expert in African American history and the director of the Institute for Common Power. Dr. Scott joins Tom in Studio A.
For this post we've edited down the 2-hour event and pick up the ceremonies after Lt. Governor Aruna Miller has taken her oath of office and been introduced by her daughters, and begins her inaugural address. Her speech is followed by the public swearing-in and inaugural address of Maryland Governor Wes Moore.
Both addresses are presented without editing.
We heard today's ceremonial events courtesy of a live audio feed provided by Maryand Public Television. MPT will be rebroadcasting the Inaugural Ceremonies Wednesday night at 7pm.
