The Latest: Peace Ball an alternative inauguration party

Some 3,000 people crowded into the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture for an energetic and enthusiastic evening of alternative inauguration programming.

 

Among the high-wattage guests at the black-tie Peace Ball, organized by progressive activist Andy Shallal, were actor Danny Glover and actress Fran Drescher. Performing were pop star Solange Knowles and jazz singer Esperanza Spalding.

 

Most in the room were deeply unhappy with the results of the presidential election, though the event was termed a nonpartisan one. Glover said, "We can't just sit and lick our wounds" and added: "Our work is cut out for us. We have to make some hard choices."
