Describe some of the challenges facing the american people during the late 20th and early 21st centuries

±here were many challenges that the American had to face in the late 20thand early 21stcenturies.

By reading the two poems "On the Pulse of Morning" and "One ±oday" I was able to infer some of them.For instance when Maya Angelou said ’’ Women, children, men, ±ake it into the palms of your hands,Mold it into the shape of your most Private need. Sculpt it into ±he image of your most public self. Li² upyour hearts Each new hour holds new chances For a new beginning. Do not be wedded forever ±o fear,yoked eternally ±o bruTshness.” She was saying that we had a problem with dwelling on the past andneed to get passed that because to many people have worked hard to make our country the way it istoday. So we need to look past how people, look, sound, and originated from and get back to the basic.
