Hope and Equality: Themes of the Presidential Inauguration

Hello friends,
I don't know about you, but the parts of the President's inauguration speech where he focused on equality and hope really moved me. I also loved the poem by Richard Blanco that followed. Here is a link to a very good article by the Center for American Progress' Sally Steenland on the common themes between the speech and the poem.  I hope you enjoy it:

Thanks and happy new year,
