Summary:
"The stirring memoir of Harry Dunn, a
Capitol
Police
Officer
on duty
January
6th
, who has become one of the most prominent and essential voices regarding the truth of that day. Walking the halls of democracy as a
Capitol
Police
officer
, Harry Dunn was a man slowly experiencing an awakening. It sparked
after
the election of our first Black president. It grew as his belief in the bravery and honor of law enforcement was shaken by Ferguson and countless other cases of
police
brutality towards the Black community. It continued to burn brighter as he watched members of Congress, many of whom he had befriended, lose their way to partisanship, as political extremism intensified. And it exploded into a blaze when he fought side by side with his fellow officers on
January
6th
, when democracy and their lives were threatened.
Standing
My
Ground
provides a crucial, definitive firsthand account of what happened on that day our country was shocked to its core. But it will also share the story of a man who refused to stay quiet when he learned that some of the men and women he had risked his life protecting, who knew him by name, would deny the horrors they faced. That’s when he chose to speak up and to seek out what his hero John Lewis once termed “good
trouble
.” Dunn’s ongoing story as a witness willing to meaningfully engage with the media, lawmakers, and the public provides a backdrop for examining the political and racial divide in this country -- one that we must overcome in order to demand
accountability
and preserve our precious democracy."--Publisher.
