WATCH: Amanda Gorman, the youngest poet in U.S. history to mark the transition of presidential power, offered a hopeful vision for a deeply divided country with her poem ‘The Hill We Climb’

WASHINGTON - Amanda Gorman, the youngest poet in U.S. history to mark the transition of presidential power, offered a hopeful vision for a deeply divided country on Wednesday with her poem “The Hill We Climb”.

“Being American is more than a pride we inherit. It’s the past we step into and how we repair it,” Gorman said, in a short poem that was greeted with a hail of critical acclaim on social media. Speaking on the steps of the U.S. Capitol just two weeks after a violent mob laid siege to the seat of American government with Confederate flags, pipe bombs and a noose, Gorman said Americans could rise above the hatred.“While democracy can be temporarily delayed, it can never be permanently defeated,” Gorman said. “Let us leave behind a country better than the one we were left,” Gorman said. “We will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one.

Great speech and monologue. Loved it. Poem, it was nor it was Poem but a speech am I wrong Am I wrong for pointing out the absence. For begging spontainues? Now that's poetry

thanks for this news

Bruised, but whole.. Once again proof that spacing and punctuation matters.

She had the best inauguration appearance. She stole the show.

It would be good if they generated a white supremacist hot spot map of the USA so people can better avoid people like that.

It was amazing! Remarkable writing and delivery.

Bruised? Wait until Biden gets done with her....
