quotes from President Biden's speech
"Democracy has Prevailed!" 
"White supremacy and extremism that we must confront and will defeat!"
"Bringing America together. Bringing our people together. Uniting this nation. I ask all Americans to join me to confront these forces together".
"We can make America once again the leading force for good in the world"
"We must reject a culture in which facts are manipulated and even manufactured" (Trump's fake news
)
"Don't tell me that things can't change!"
"To those that did not support us. Hear me out. Hear me clearly. Disagreement must not lead to dis-union. I will be a President for all Americans. I will fight hard for those who did not support me, as well as those did".
“This is America’s day. This is democracy’s day. A day of history and hope, of renewal and resolve. Through a crucible for the ages, America has been tested anew and America has risen to the challenge,” Biden declared, standing alongside his family, supporters, and lawmakers from both sides of the aisle.
“Today we celebrate the triumph — not of a candidate, but of a cause. The cause of democracy. The people, the will of the people, has been heard and the will of the people has been heeded,” he continued.
“Folks, this is a time of testing. We face an attack on our democracy and in truth. A raging virus, growing inequity, the sting of systemic racism, a climate in crisis, America’s role in the world. Any one of these would be enough to challenge us in profound ways. But the fact is, we faced them all at once, presenting this nation with one of the gravest responsibilities we’ve had. Now, we’re going to be tested. Are we going to step up, all of us? It’s time for boldness for there’s so much to do. And this is certain: I promise you, we will be judged, you and I, by how we resolve these cascading crises of our era,” Biden said.
A great speech for the unity for of America. He called out white supremacy in his speech. A speech with passion, sincerity but also a serious and sombre speech.
Amanda Gorman, the youngest American poet laureate at 22 years old, gave a powerful reading of her poem "The Hill We Climb" during the Inauguration.
