The game of chess is not an exercise in public participation. Neither is the search for elective leaders as it would seem with the installation of Anne Kananu earlier this week. The inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris illustrates why this approach is so short-sighted and further stunts our young democratic culture.
The January 20 inauguration of Biden/Harris was remarkable in several ways. Four stood out for me. First, the sight of a 78-year-old President - the oldest person to be sworn in as President in the history of America - being called to serve by 22-year-old Amanda Gorman, America’s youngest inauguration poet. Her poem, “The Hill We Climb” deserves to be presented to all who claim leadership.
