(Updates a ter inauguration) Bonds By Matthew Bigg WASHINGTON, Jan 20 (Reuters) - Students who rode 12 hourson a bus to witness history said it was worth it to see BarackObama take the oath as U.S president despite the bitter cold. Most watched the e ent on giant screens placed around thepark in the center o Washington and some students said thatthey wished they been closer to the action a ter their journeythrough the night. "I shed tears like I did on election night," said E erettDixon, 21, who couldn't eel his eet or much o the morningbecause o the cold.

"I would ha e lo ed to ha e been able to get close enoughto actually see Obama but to be in the Mall was amazing," thearts major said. or A rican-Americans in general and Morehouse students inparticular, the moment was a watershed Slain ci il rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. graduated rom Morehouse, a college or black American men that stressesleadership and aims to gi e students a sense o moral and ci icresponsibility. Hundreds o Morehouse students made the trip, which meant asleepless night on a bus and hours standing in the cold waiting or the ceremony Arri ing at 3 a.m. one group o students spent two hourswalking the streets in reezing temperatures be ore they ounda way into the Mall which pro ided the best antage point orthose without tickets. BUSES OR CHANGE Riding buses to demand change has been a signi icantpolitical tactic in black American history. Rosa Parks helped ignite the ci il rights mo ement in 1955by re using to gi e up her seat to a white passenger on a busin Montgomery, Alabama as mandated by law.
