President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration is set to take place on Monday the same day the federal government commemorates the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. The president-elect could signal that his second administration would focus on reuniting the nation after a bruising election cycle.

Several congressional Democrats including Rep. Ilhan Omar , Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Delia Ramirez are skipping the inauguration, choosing instead to honor the late civil rights icon.

Dr. Alveda King , a niece of Martin Luther King Jr. said her uncle's inauguration on the same day as King's federal holiday, is no accident.

She urged all Americans to come together in prayer for the nation as we step into a new season of hope and promise.
