As 2021 comes to a close, ABC News present its annual two-hour special highlighting the biggest moments of a historic year. With the country still fighting COVID-19, a groundbreaking inauguration, the Capitol insurrection, and continued protests for racial justice, 2021 proved to be a year unlike any other in modern-day history. "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts anchors "The Year: 2021" alongside a team of ABC News anchors and correspondents. "The Year: 2021" features reports on the history-defining events of the year, including breakthroughs in space exploration and vaccines, the race to save the planet from global warming, and how America continues to rebuild and reopen following two years of living in a pandemic, as well as the most talked about times in pop culture, such as milestones in movies and television.
