17:02Now PlayingTennessee has long been a battleground for civil rights, from the Nashville lunch counter sit-ins to Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in Memphis. This week, that legacy was tested again as Tennessee Republicans redistricted and eliminated the state's only majority-Black congressional district. Democratic representative Justin Jones says we must call this moment for what it is. “Whether they do it with crosses and violence or with the sophistication of suits and decorum,” he warns the fight is far from over. They have “turned back the clock of history” and “we must err on the side of action.”
