The Michigan Book Launch of “24 Hours At The Capitol” by Nora Neus

The 24 Hours in Charlottesville author offers a minute-by-minute account of the January 6 riots through never-before-heard stories of those who were there. January 6 was largely planned right out in the open, but lawmakers and government officials underestimated the threat in part because it was coming from white people. Neus examines the underlying racial implications of not only the attack itself, but also in the planning and coordination of the response.

Nora Neus is an Emmy-nominated producer, speaker, and author who covers race, policing in America, and white nationalism. She has produced over 3,400 hours of live television at CNN and covers major national and international news for outlets including the Washington Post, POLITICO, VICE News, Teen Vogue, and The Guardian.

“A little more matriarchy is what the world needs, and I know it. Period. Paragraph.”

Dorothy Thompson

Matriarchy emphasizes shared power, collaboration, and nurturing relationships, moving away from hierarchical dominance seen in patriarchy. In embracing empathy and cooperation, matriarchy fosters inclusivity and empowerment, where individuals’ rights and dignity are upheld and respected.  - Cody Peluso

"A woman with a voice is, by definition, a strong woman." — Melinda Gates

"EACH TIME A WOMAN STANDS UP FOR HERSELF, WITHOUT KNOWING IT POSSIBLY, WITHOUT CLAIMING IT, SHE STANDS UP FOR ALL WOMEN."

- MAYA ANGELOU

Matriarchy: where love and power intersect.

"A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men."  — Gloria Steinem

“The female warrior knows how to fight without violence. She knows when not to raise her sword, but instead hold up her heart. Her shield is not a defense against others but a shelter for all.”

- Riitta Klint

“The enemy of feminism isn’t men. It’s patriarchy, and patriarchy is not men. It is a system, and women can support the system of patriarchy just as men can support the fight for gender equality”

- Justine Musk

"There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish."-Michelle Obama
