Biden gives hope to Americans on anniversary of COVID-19 shutdown

March 11 marked the anniversary of the COVID-19 Shutdown. In honor of this, President Biden delivered a genuine and powerful speech that acknowledged our joint suffering, commended our perseverance, and ensured a newfound hope.  

His speech opened with “While it was different for everyone, we all lost something. A collective suffering. A collective sacrifice. A year filled with the loss of life — and the loss of living for all of us. But, in the loss, we saw how much there was to gain in appreciation, respect, and gratitude. Finding light in the darkness is a very American thing to do. In fact, it may be the most American thing we do. And that’s what we’ve done.”
