Cornelius Martin will be among the crowd in Washington D.C. taking part in history on Tuesday.
The 20-year-old Opelika resident is among a group that will attend the Inauguration of president-elect Barack Obama.
The University of Alabama student will be in Washington for five days as part of the University Presidential Conference, which provides students with an understanding of the history behind the electoral process and the traditions of the presidential inauguration.
“We going to be doing different group events, we’re going to see the motorcade and were going to the inauguration… I know we’ll have the opportunity to go to the different monuments, the museum,” he said.
At the end of the trip, the students will attend a Black Tie Gala Inaugural Ball.
“I can’t wait to see. I know they said I think over the million people there,” he said. “That will be an experience in itself to experience that.”
