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 https://t.co/I4767hWNQ4 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: https://t.co/TK04ZhxKfq

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 https://t.co/dOsxIfq8fv

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:

[Brett Murphy @BrettMmurphy]

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. https://t.co/pjGRFY9mJN

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!

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. https://t.co/7855T43bE6

[Deborah Berry @dberrygannett]

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."

@uspresstracker It may feel like it was 18 months ago, but this was in 2021.

[Kainaz Amaria @kainazamaria]

We lost a great one in photojournalism today.

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.

A team from the @USATODAY network talked to freedom fighters about their work in the civil rights movement 60 years ago and what it means today. The project launches today and runs thru Dec. Here is what they had to say. https://t.co/nzkaZIPr4E, @SNCC60th, @snccdigital, @NAACP

[Melissa Brown @itsmelissabrown]

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."
