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,

My name is Ingrid Atzl Irigoyen. This is a place to share my personal reflections on a range of social justice issues, and echo the positive energy that authors who are experts on these topics put into the world by reposting their writings. It is one very modest contribution I can make to encourage a more just world.
