Frank Lamar was at home Wednesday afternoon when news broke that the nation’s Capitol was under siege. He sat in front of his TV, stunned by what he was seeing.
“I couldn’t believe it. This was not my America. It was not the United States,” he said.
At age 89, the highly respected Black leader in Lima said he’s lived through many historic events, but this one was unimaginable.
“The president of the United States inflamed that mob. It was under his direction that they were reacting,” Lamar said.
