Celebrate Black History Month with young poet Amanda Gorman
Feb 1, 2024
She’s only in her twenties, yet she has captured hearts and minds throughout America with her powerful poetry. Her poetic work became so acclaimed that she spoke her poem, The Hill We Climb, at the inauguration of President Joe Biden in 2021. And she spoke poetically again at the Super Bowl!
Amanda Gorman turned to writing poetry for a very special reason. Find out why in this celebratory Kid Scoop page.
