October 21: Harry Dunn with Patt Morrison

During this America at a Crossroads program, Patt Morrison, veteran LA Times columnist and winner of a Pulitzer, many Golden Mikes and multiple Emmy Awards, will engage January 6 Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn in conversation about the January 6 insurrection.  Dunn has been one of the most prominent and essential voices regarding the truth of what happened in and around the Capitol on January 6. 

Harry Anthony Dunn served in the United States Capitol Police and was one of many police officers present during the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.  During the attack, Dunn was stationed outside the Capitol.  Once the Capitol was breached, Dunn was called inside to guard a stairwell with injured officers and to guard Speaker Pelosi’s office.  He interacted with rioters extensively that day.  Officer Dunn testified in front of the House Select January 6 Committee.  He also testified at the 2022 trial of the Oath Keepers for seditious conspiracy for their actions relating to the Capitol attack. Dunn’s heroic conduct on January 6 earned him a Congressional  Gold Medal. 

Officer Dunn recently wrote a NY Times best-selling memoir entitled Standing My Ground which has been called a “must-read.” 

This is sure to be a stimulating and informative hour intended to provide insight into the insurrection from the perspective of someone whose fists were bloodied and whose life was threatened on that dark day.
