Differing Narratives After Standoff Between Native American Man, High School Student
The interaction between the man and the teen caused an outcry. But a more complicated picture has emerged of the day when several groups of protesters converged at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.
A viral video of a Native American man surrounded by teenagers at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., created a furor and spurred an apology from the students' Kentucky high school. But since then, other videos and narratives have emerged that give more context to Friday's confrontation.
It happened on the same steps where civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. called for racial harmony in the U.S. with his famous "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963.
Three groups of protesters converged beneath Abraham Lincoln's statue: Catholic high school students who were in Washington for the anti-abortion March For Life, American Indians who were part of the Indigenous People's March, and a smaller group called the Black Hebrew Israelites.
