"America's story depends not on. One of us not on some of us bought on all of us on we the people that's the task before us the only way we'll get through the darkness around us," Biden asserted.

"There are moments in our history when more is asked of us as Americans. We saw that in the Civil War, we saw that with Dr. King dreaming from these steps across the mall. We are in one of those moments now," the new US president told the nation.
