Two Bibles, stacked together, under one hand 📖

That's how President Obama took his oath for a second term, one Bible had belonged to Abraham Lincoln, the other to Martin Luther King Jr.

King quoted the Bible often in his speeches and sermons, including "I Have a Dream." Obama's own address opened with the Declaration's "created equal," a conviction rooted in Genesis 1: every person made in the image of God.
