Dear Commons Community,

Organizers for President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday finished setting up about 200,000 flags yesterday, representing the American people who cannot travel to the inauguration amid a worsening coronavirus pandemic and extraordinary security precautions. The Presidential Inaugural Committee also lit up the “Field of Flags” with 56 pillars of light that represent the 50 states and U.S. territories. The flags also are meant to honor the 400,000 Americans who have died from COVID-19.
