PNC

The Inauguration of Barack Obama

In January 2009, teams of top DC Public School high school students were given the opportunity by PNC Bank to experience President Obama's inauguration at PNC Bank on Pennsylvania Avenue and to make a short documentary about this historic event. PNC Bank gave a Flip video camera to a team from each high school to create a 5-8 minute documentary about the impact of President Obamas presidency on their lives and in their communities.
