Michelle grasped Bush's hand as they both smiled before Obama took the
stage to deliver the final speech to officially open the $540million
museum at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on Saturday. Obama said
the 85,000 sq ft museum told the true story of America,a 'richer and
fuller story of who we are'. Obama and Bush sat side-by-side together as
the guests of honor at the ceremony. Oprah Winfrey and Will Smith also
took the stage, where they participated in a poetry-off and quoted the
likes of Maya Angelou and Langston Hughes to celebrate African American
literature. Also present in the crowd was VP Joe Biden, Colin Powell,
Bill Clinton, Angela Bassett and Robert DeNiro.
