Give Eugene Goodman All His Damn Flowers

U.S. Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman, hailed by many for his heroism during the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, participates in a the dress rehearsal for the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden at the Capitol on January 18, 2021 in Washington, DC

To see Eugene Goodman recognized for his actions is the kind of energy we need in 2021. We especially need to keep this energy as we acknowledge just how heavy of a task it was to be a Black person in that kind of situation.
