Investigators have concluded that the group of high school students involved in a confrontation in Washington that went viral did not instigate the confrontation.
Three groups converged on Jan. 22 in front of the Lincoln Memorial—Covington Catholic High School students, fresh from the March for Life and awaiting buses to take them back to Kentucky; Native Americans, who were part of an Indigenous People March; and Black Hebrew Israelites, a fringe religious group that shouted slurs at the two other groups.
