Apparently CBS was involved in the arranging for 21 y/o Harvard student Amanda Gorman to be part of the Independence day celebrations by reciting her holiday poem accompanied by the Boston Pops Orchestra.
Congratulations to all involved. She is already an American treasure.
Amanda Gorman is an American poet and activist from Los Angeles, California. Gorman's work focuses on issues of oppression, feminism, race, and marginalization, as well as the African diaspora. Gorman is the first person to be named National Youth Poet Laureate.
