The Hill We Climb: An Inaugural Poem by Amanda Gorman, Oprah Winfrey

 

The inaugural poem that was read at President Biden’s inauguration that I watched live on 20 January 2021, as some of us ‘had to stay at home’ so I brought the hardback book of the poem as a kind of memento to that day, when a black woman read her own poem in front of millions of people and it kind of felt like history had been made.. fast forward a year and a half to August 2022 and boy, how things have certainly changed and not at all for the better.
