It’s been four years since the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, more than 1,488 have been charged in the deadly attack. President-elect Donald Trump has promised multiple times, upon his return to the White House, that he plans to pardon or commute the sentences of those he believes to be innocent.
On Monday’s edition of “Closer Look,” we revisit show host Rose Scott’s conversation with Harry Dunn. The former U.S. Capitol Police officer traveled to Atlanta in 2024 when he was being honored by the Fulton County Democratic Party with the Saving Democracy Award. During the conversation, Dunn talks about his experience responding to the insurrection, voting and the current state of democracy.
Lastly, we also hear from Dr. Catherine Meeks, a longtime educator, workshop leader and scholar focusing on dismantling racism. Meeks reflects on the insurrection, her ongoing efforts to teach others about racial healing and her book “The Night Is Long But Light Comes in the Morning: Mediations for Racial Healing.”
