We, the successors of a country and a time where a skinny black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president, only to find herself reciting for one.
其後,她提到現時要勇敢面對未來,以及對未來的後世人有一種責任。
We will not march back to what was but move to what shall be A country that is bruised but whole, benevolent but bold, fierce and free We will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation because we know our inaction and inertia will be the inheritance of the next generation Our blunders become their burdens…
最後她希望能放眼未來,因為歷史正看着我們。
In this truth, in this faith we trust, for while we have our eyes on the future, history has its eyes on us.
