On Jan. 20, millions of people across the country and around the world breathed a sigh of relief with the inauguration of Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States.
For so many, it was a day filled with pride and gratitude. The events of the inauguration, including poet Amanda Gorman’s breathtaking performance, reminded me of the power of hope and sacrifice — that despite the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, many still believe in fighting for a more peaceful and inclusive union.
