Regardless of political leanings, there have been moments throughout our brief history as a nation that have connected us in an extraordinary way.  Thanks to a profound amount of media coverage, many of us were able to view such an event during the recent presidential inauguration ceremony.  However, despite the bond that several of us felt that day, there is something to be said for the irreplaceable experience of physically sharing an event. 

Many Americans were able to stand together in Washington D.C. for a symbolic and communal moment, that they were lucky enough to witness first-hand.  Memphis, had it’s share of representatives gather at the capitol that day, and the Social Media Expedition is organizing a way to enable them to share, document, and preserve their stories for the rest of us.

Saturday at 4:30 at Caritas Village in Memphis, a town hall styled gathering will be held.  Various families and individuals who witnessed the inauguration will be there to answer questions and share their stories from the event.  Expedition members are invited to be there to give web 2.0 coverage from this meeting through photos, video, and audio.  More importantly we encourage you to come listen to the stories and ask questions of your own. See the Facebook event for details and RSVP.
