The Rev. Joseph Lowery gave the benediction at the inaugural on Tuesday. He closed with this rhyme: "We ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, then the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right. That all those who do justice and love mercy say Ahem". The President and the crowd loved it.
