Be it for the good, bad, ugly, or downright shocking, 2021 was full of moments to be remembered.

Now, as the year draws to a close, That Grape Juice is reflecting on the occasions that rocked – and to some degree maybe even reshaped – the Urban and Pop cultural landscape as we know it.

Next up, we are looking back on the January 6 insurrection at the United States capitol.

Join us below…

The infamous insurrection on January 6 began when supporters of former President Donald Trump stormed the United States capitol a mere two weeks before then President Elect Joe Biden was sworn into office. Biden called on Trump to then “step up” to call his followers to action after they claimed the election was “stolen.”
