Obama to be sworn in with Lincoln, King Bible
President Obama will take the oath of office with two Bibles that once belonged to a pair of civil rights icons: Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr.
King's "traveling Bible" was provided by his family, while the Lincoln Bible is from the Library of Congress and was used during the 16th president's inauguration on March 4, 1861; Obama also used the Lincoln Bible during his first inauguration in 2009.
The Lincoln and King good books will be used during this year's public swearing-in ceremony on Monday, Jan. 21, announced the Presidential Inaugural Committee. King's book will be stacked atop Lincoln's.
