In 2021, *NewsHour* anchor and managing editor Judy Woodruff described the importance of looking back at these protests and the ways they had been covered in the past:

> **In the news business, we’re always focused on what’s next, what’s today, what’s tomorrow, what’s next week, what’s next month…. Rodney King is such a perfect example of a way to look at what’s happening today with racial reckoning, with the relationship with the police and Black Americans. It’s such a perfect counterpoint to look at what happened then and what’s happened over time and where we are now…. We approach things so differently today and that’s why to me it’s critical to be able to contrast it with how we used to do it, to put it in context, and help you understand how much progress we’ve made and how much progress we still have to make. We still have a long way to go when it comes to covering these kinds of issues.**[<sup>1</sup>](/exhibits/after-the-fire/notes#1)

We still have a long way to go in how we cover so many of these kinds of issues.**[<sup>1</sup>](/exhibits/after-the-fire/notes#1)
