"Lewis and Clark return to Washington D.C. for
Presidential Inaugural" Parade
From a 55-foot keelboat to a parade float -- television viewers and
inaugural parade visitors met the historic figures of the Lewis and
Clark Expedition on January 20, 2005.
"A Vision of America" selected as the 2005 Presidential Inaugural Theme,
highlighted the Bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark
Expedition.
In 1804, President Thomas Jefferson
sent Lewis and Clark on a mission to explore the newly acquired
Louisiana Purchase. By
November
1805, the explorers had reached the Pacific Ocean and held a historic
vote. This was the first documented vote west of the Mississippi
that recorded a Native American Indian woman (Sacagawea) and an African American
man (York).
