As the House of Representatives voted to impeach Donald Trump, a lone protester stood in front of the Capitol Building.
He had a sign that read: Stop Hating Each Other Because You Disagree , and from a speaker he was playing Bob Marley s One Love .
It was a strong message of unity, but the demonstrator was surrounded by stark reminders of the divisions that have been laid bare in Washington in recent times.
As members of Congress were getting ready for the impeachment vote, construction crews were installing tall, unscalable metal fences around the perimeter of Capitol Hill.
Hundreds of armed National Guard troops looked on as workmen hammered and drilled the railings into place.
