Black History Month in Nyack 2021

Through her words and demeanor, Amanda Gorman restored the dignity of the United States Capitol, which had been desecrated weeks before by insurrectionists. Gorman became the youngest person to ever read an Inaugural Poem on January 20, 2021. She shared the stage with newly sworn in President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris, but Gorman stole the show.

Now her work is being commemorated in Nyack. Local artist, Kris Burns, has embedded the words of Amanda's Inaugural Poem, "The Hill We Climb", across the Village of Nyack. Look for posters that will guide you through a poetry walk starting on Friday, February 12, 2021.

Begin at the gazebo on Main Street, visit History Has It's Eyes on Us for more details.

Before or after you experience the poetry walk in Nyack, enjoy some fine dining and casual eats at "Nyack Feasts" week.
