La colina que ascendemos

Before the gaze of a world in awe after the invasion of the United States Capitol, Amanda Gorman took the floor after President Joe Biden. She was the youngest poet who recited at an investiture ceremony, as Robert Frost or Maya Angelou did before, and she captivated millions of people who saw in her the light of hope, and in the verses of The Hill We Ascend the inauguration of a new era. African American raised by a single mother in a modest multicultural Los Angeles neighborhood, an advocate for the environment, racial equality and gender justice, Gorman has become the voice of the forgotten. "With her vigorous and moving words -as Michelle Obama affirms-, she reminds us of the power that each of us has to defend our democracy. Keep shining, Amanda!".
