Today would have been Trayvon Martin's 26th birthday.

A10: To be the light that we are all searching for. We always want to see change happen in our world, but we need to be brave enough to BE the change in the world. #TeachLivingPoets

[julia @JuliaSwanner]

A9: I believe the Hill to be disunity and division within the United States and its history. We, as a nation, need to climb this Hill together in order to be unified and to leave a united country for the generations to come. #TeachLivingPoets

[julia @JuliaSwanner]

A8: Light usually resembles something good or hopeful. The beginning of the poem showcases light as something we are searching for that can be hard to find, but as the poem concludes, Gorman uses light as an inspiration that has been attainable all along. #TeachLivingPoets

[julia @JuliaSwanner]

A7: “Blade, made, glade…” → contrast between blade (violence) and bridges made (unity)
“Hour, power…” → contrast terrifying hour to finding power
“Might, right…” → reinforce the idea that change can make things right, provide rights, etc.
#TeachLivingPoets

[julia @JuliaSwanner]

A6: Gorman covers older topics, such as slavery, as well as recent topics, such as human rights and possibly police brutality (lay down our arms, so we can reach out our arms) #TeachLivingPoets

[julia @JuliaSwanner]

A5: “Destroy, delay, democracy, defeated…” → the strong alliteration emphasizes the idea that although we can destroy our country by delaying democracy, democracy cannot and will not be defeated. Violence is a common response, but will never win in the end. #TeachLivingPoets

[julia @JuliaSwanner]

A4: “That even as we…”
“We Will raise/rise…”

Gorman uses anaphora to reinforce and emphasize the main idea that one day, we, as Americans, will unite as one, despite our differences.
#TeachLivingPoets

[julia @JuliaSwanner]

A3: The Hill is a metaphor for the challenges we have to overcome as a country in order to achieve true unity; we climb The Hill in order to leave the world better than we found it. #TeachLivingPoets

[julia @JuliaSwanner]

A2: “Just is” and “Justice.” → what is “just is” and normal today does not necessarily mean justice is accessible for all, only for some. #TeachLivingPoets

[julia @JuliaSwanner]

A1: I like how Gorman constantly refers back to how America is made up of people from all different backgrounds, like race, ethnicity, religion, etc. #TeachLivingPoets

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

This is what "stand back and stand by" meant.

[alazar @zarzarbinkss]

storming at police while holding a blue lives matter flag sure is something

[HOOD VOGUE is tired of poverty @keyon]

Why do y’all get mad when we tell y’all to be responsible during a pandemic 😭😭😭 it’s so weird
