22-year-old poet Amanda Gorman surprises the Inauguration with amazing poem and stuns the nation. 

The hill we climb (excerpt)

“We will rebuild, reconcile and recover

and every known nook of our nation and

every corner called our country,

our people diverse and beautiful will emerge,

battered and beautiful

When day comes, we step out of the shade,

aflame and unafraid

The new dawn blooms as we free it

For there is always light,

if only we’re brave enough to see it

If only we’re brave enough to be it”
