Coverage will also feature roundtables and interviews with families and communities grappling with the outcome of that day. "ABC News Live Prime" with anchor Linsey Davis will revisit how Jan. 6, 2021, impacted some families, as children who turned their parents in are now trying to pick up the pieces. Correspondent Mireya Villarreal is set to speak with a group trying to build back their lives and family bonds.

The documentary "Homegrown: Standoff to Rebellion" will provide a look at the days, events and conversations leading up to Jan. 6, 2021, from the eyes of anti-government groups, with interviews from Ammon Bundy, a former Oath Keeper, extremism experts and several ABC News correspondents who were at the Capitol that day.
