Inaugural Presidential Address

In the depth of winter, Bill Clinton tells a nation that its words and faces can “force the spring.” But can a country make change its friend before it becomes its enemy?

On January 20, 1993, as the Cold War’s shadow recedes, a new president speaks from the steps of the Capitol to a nation facing stagnant wages, mounting debt, and a world newly open—and newly unstable. Clinton calls for more than policies: he asks Americans to shoulder responsibility for one another, serve their communities, and help renew their democracy. The task is urgent, and no president or Congress, he insists, can do it alone. As the old order gives way, can Americans turn their differences and anxieties into a shared beginning?
