These spaniels gave up a precious Saturday chasing squirrels and balls in the park to take part in an unofficial #Coronation event. They were mostly OK with that bit.ly/3M1LK84 w/pics by @jaspercolt

One year since the attack on the U.S. Capitol and lawmakers are, understandably, still grappling with what happened that day.
.@usatodayDC asked all of them (yes, all of them) about it.
More than 120 responded.
Here are just some of those responses: usatoday.com/in-depth/news/p…

Hard to believe it’s been 363 days already. Everyday I walk through the halls and the grounds of the Capitol I think about what I witnessed that day, stuck on repeat. #January6 latimes.com/politics/story/2…

For months we’ve published our “Seven Days of 1961” project. Today, we share our final contributions, including an interactive AR experience. We encourage readers to subscribe and spend time with this ambitious effort. Here are some of our favorite features of the project:
ALT Photo collage with, from left, a tear sheet of a Freedom Ride itinerary; a button that says Freedom Ride CORE; black and white photo of smoke coming out of bus windows with Freedom Riders standing in front of the bus; a bloodied John Lewis and a bloodied white man with a finger in his mouth; a sign that says "White Waiting Room - Intrastate passengers"

Around the country, we documented how police departments hunt down and silence internal whistleblowers to cover up misconduct with impunity. They've been fired, jailed and, in at least one case, forcibly admitted to a psychiatric ward. usatoday.com/in-depth/story-…

You won’t find anything else like Seven Days of 1961. And now its podcast trailer just dropped. Go find it on your phone—two episodes drop a week from today!
In 1961, civil rights activists risked their lives to challenge white supremacy. They’re telling their stories in their own words on each episode of the “Seven Days of 1961” podcast. Follow the show on @ApplePodcasts here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

This photo, shared by The Anniston Star, is a remarkable look at the mob attack on the Greyhound bus outside Anniston that Mother’s Day. You see two Riders sitting in the bus, staring straight ahead. If you zoom in, to the left, you candle the crowd of white men standing outside.

On Oct. 4, 1961, students walked out of Burglund High School in Mississippi to demand justice. An activist was killed by a white lawmaker. A Black student was expelled for her own activism. bit.ly/3uAER3t

We stood on steps where civil rights veterans were beaten. We traced where they marched, stepped in cells where they were jailed. We went with vets & historians as they took us on a journey back to 1961. Join the @USATODAY network for "Seven Days of 1961."

If you have some time, please read about my friend Nick Oza and his work.
And, if you can, donate to the gofundme to support his family.

As I researched the Freedom Rides for @USATODAY this summer, I was moved by how much Riders risked 60 years ago & how generous they have been since in sharing their stories.
"I never regretted anything because life is not promised."

I got to help with the Seven Days of 1961 project from @USATODAY, and the first part has published online!
The series tells the stories of pivotal moments and people in the civil rights movement, and it was a huge endeavor.
