A bevy of House Democrats is renewing calls for the formation of a memorial of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Over a dozen Democrats have backed calls for the establishment of a memorial in the Capitol building under the Capitol Remembrance Act to remember the"defining moment" for America's democracy and to honor the heroes of the riot. Congress marked the riot's second anniversary earlier this month."Two years after January 6th, we see one of the darkest chapters of our nation’s history as democracy’s defining moment — not its last," Rep.
Some of the people who would be honored in the memorial include law enforcement personnel such as U.S. Capitol Police officers Brian Sicknick and Howard Liebengood, who died after the riot. Sicknick's death appears to have been related to two strokes he suffered around the time of the riot, according to a medical examiner. Liebengood died of suicide days after Jan. 6.
