On the 1-year anniversary of the Capitol insurrection, take a moment to read Dr. Hakeem Jefferson's powerful essay, "Storming The U.S. Capitol Was About Maintaining White Power In America," which offers a powerful analysis of our current political moment. Though published 2 days after the insurrection, it reads as though it was written yesterday.
"So, when we think about those who gathered in Washington, D.C...and who will surely continue their advance in opposition to democratic rule, let it not be lost on us that they do not simply come in defense of D*nald Tr*mp. They come in defense of white supremacy."
