Answer:
Maya Angelou, Martin Luther King, Langston Hughes, and Abraham Lincoln.
Step-by-step explanation:
Gorman referenced the Angelou poem "Still I Rise
Gorman referenced lines from King's famous "I Have a Dream" speech when she said: "We are striving to forge our union with purpose, to compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters, and conditions of man."
Gorman nodded to Lincoln's "unfinished work" in her line: "Somehow we do it, somehow we've weathered and witnessed a nation that isn't broken but simply unfinished."
Gorman said: "In every known nook of our nation, in every corner called our country, our people, diverse and beautiful, will emerge battered and beautiful."
The last three words pay homage to two iconic works — "I, Too" and "Still Here" — by fellow poet Langston Hughes
