A group of African-American college students are among the scores of people arriving in Washington, D.C. this weekend for Barack Obama's inauguration. They're here to witness history and also make a little of their own, as part of a reinvigorated tradition of debate at historically black colleges and universities. We'll hear more about their involvement in a debate on Monday and efforts to revive competitions at schools around the country.
