American Presidents have made history with their inauguration speeches.
In 1933 Franklin D Roosevelt told his audience "we have nothing to fear but fear itself."
And in 1961, John F. Kennedy declared, "And so my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."
So how did Democratic president Joe Biden's speech compare?
Professor Gerald Shuster is an expert on presidential rhetoric from the University of Pittsburg. He spoke to Nita Blake-Persen.
