Storied careers were on full display at the inauguration of President Joe Biden, from politicians to entertainers with decades of experience under their belts. But the breakout star of the event was Amanda Gorman, who at 22 years old became the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history.  Gorman recited her poem "The Hill We Climb" that called for Americans to rebuild, reconcile, and recover from deeply rooted divides and racial inequities, particularly during a time of unprecedented illness, death, political strife and calls for racial justice across the country.
