To many, watching the Jan. 6 riot unfold at the U.S. Capitol was shocking. But not to Carol Anderson.

Anderson, a best-selling author and professor of African American studies at Emory University, traces a long history of racial violence and its ties to the insurrection in a new documentary, “I, Too.”

On this edition of “Closer Look,” you’ll hear a post-film-premiere Q&A with Anderson and host Rose Scott recorded live at the Carter Center.
