I-Day in Washington a Mardi Gras Inauguration
Washington celebrated I Day as a blend of Mardi Gras and formal ceremony. Eisenhower opened with a self composed prayer, then rode in a white open car as Mamie waved. The parade drew 750000 people from across the country, ending with a long ball before a late return to the White House. Truman and Bess received a warm farewell as the city shifted from celebration to business.
