Kevin Gavin: It s the Confluence where the news comes together on 90.5 WESA, I m Kevin Gavin. More than 20,000 National Guard troops are in Washington to make sure tomorrow s inauguration is secure to thwart a repeat of January 6th when right-wing extremists stormed the U.S. Capitol, disrupting the certification of election results. Five people died in the attack soon after. Social justice advocates, politicians and reporters noted a difference in how this pro-Trump mob was handled versus Black Lives Matter protests from last summer in front of the White House. Just last year, Pittsburgh saw a mix of protests, some calling for racial justice and others protesting the election results. With us is just Jasiri X, an activist, and he s the founder and CEO of 1Hood Media. Welcome back to The Confluence, Jasiri.
