New President of the United States of America, Joe Biden has made it clear that overcoming the challenges facing the country require more than just words.
He declared: “to overcome these challenges, to restore the soul and secure the future of America, requires so much more than words. It requires the most elusive of all things in a democracy: unity.”
In his inaugural speech today, January 20, President Biden said that the country has “much to repair, much to restore, much to heal, much to build, and much to gain.
” Few people in our nation’s history have been more challenged or found a time more challenging or difficult than the time we’re in now.”
President Biden referred to Coronavirus pandemic as a “once-in-a-century virus that silently stalks the country. It’s taken as many lives in one year as America lost in all of World War II.”
But amid tones of pain and strife, as “millions of jobs have been lost,” and there exists a “cry for racial justice some 400 years in the making,” Biden offered signs of hope.
