If you’re trying to make sense of the Capitol riot, read these books
On January 6, the world watched as the US Capitol was attacked by pro-Trump rioters. Since then, each day has been filled with revelations about how it was plotted and carried out. Many are still trying to process the initial shock.
While seeing Confederate and Trump 2020 flags draped all over the Capitol was a shocking sight for some, others were not surprised.
“It was simply the culmination of the past four years under Trump’s presidency,” said librarian Djaz Zulida.
Zulida is a job information resource librarian for the Brooklyn Public Library system. Soon after the riot, the library set out to compile books that would help put this insurrection into perspective.
