120 Years of US Presidential Inaugurations 1897-2017: Speeches & Full Inaugurations


"The only thing to fear, is fear itself -Franklin D. Roosevelt Inauguration 1933."

"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country -John F. Kennedy 1961."

"We must adjust to changing times, and still hold to unchanging principles -HS Teacher of Jimmy Carter 1977."

My fellow citizens and consistent viewers, West Oakland Imports presents to you a record of 100 years of Presidential Inaugurations and speeches. The ideas conveyed at these critical junctions of power transition, by the elected leaders of the United States, shines a microscopic lens on their core beliefs, and visions for administrating government. In the inaugural spirit of President Donald Trump, we urge scholars to compare and contrast, study, and educate themselves about the history and significance of the peaceful transition of power. We also urge viewers to be critical of the time capsuled ideas presented and to identify themes which are still relevant today. The following videos are for historical and educational purposes only.
