“Will we meet our obligations and pass along a new and better world for our children? I believe we must...I believe we will. And when we do we will write the next great chapter in the history of the United States of America” — @POTUS @JoeBiden #InaugurationDay

[Save the Children US @SavetheChildren]

As America's kids watch the first Black, first South Asian & first woman sworn-in as Vice President, there's no underestimating the historic nature of this moment and what it means for kids to see someone who looks like them in leadership. #InaugurationDay #RepresentationMatters
