Hosted by
and
Scot and Sue have a conversation with Alan Jenkins and Gan Golan, co-authors of the graphic novel 1/6, which speculates what could have happened if the insurrection on January 6, 2021 was successful. After the insurrection, Alan and Gan were concerned with how quickly the nation was forgetting, and more troubling, reinventing history. They retell this history in a compelling way that can reach everyday people; not just the story of what happened, but the story of what could have happened and how close we came to losing our democracy. How can this moment in history be a warning sign and call to action for us all?
