YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Tennessee state representative Justin Jones burned a confederate flag inside the state house in response to Republican lawmakers who voted to divide up Tennessee’s sole majority black district in Memphis. His GOP colleagues were furious. But Jones wanted to send a message that this nation will not go back to the days of Jim Crow. This was of the most powerful interviews I’ve done in some time.
