Beyond the Insurrection Walking Tour

Service Description

We all have some memory of the political protest that occurred on January 6, 2021, when protesters used violence in an attempt to subvert the 2020 United States presidential election and forcibly stormed the United States Capitol when the Congress was in session to certify the election results. The protest that occurred on January 6th was unlike the majority of political protests that have taken place in Washington DC for over 125 years, the foremost reason being that it used violent civil disobedience. On this tour, you’ll learn about the established tradition of political protest in the United States of America and guaranteed to all its citizens in its Constitution. We will explore sites along the National Mall as we discuss what makes a successful political protest and how this tradition came to be.
