Written by Site Hub on January 17, 2021
An award winning Black female writer will become the youngest inaugural poet when she recites her work at president Joe Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday, January 20.
Amanda Gorman, 22, has been breaking down barriers all her life.
In 2014, she became the first Youth Poet Laureate of Los Angles. After that she was named the country’s first National Youth Poet Laureate.
She will be reading her poem “The Hill We Climb” as she follows in the footsteps of Maya Angelou and Robert Frost as she carries the torch of tradition forward.
