Amanda Gorman Debuts Poem 'This Sacred Scene' at DNC

Gorman's new work emphasizes unity and the American dream amid political transition.

The poem was inspired by the Democratic National Convention's themes of freedom and unity.
Gorman, the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history, previously gained fame at Biden's 2021 inauguration.
'This Sacred Scene' reflects on America's collective journey and the importance of standing together.
Gorman's performance was influenced by conversations with astronaut Mike Barratt and current political events.
The poem marks a shift from celebrating an incumbent to expressing hope for future leadership.
