3:35Now PlayingSpeaking at the All Roads Lead to The South rally in Montgomery, Alabama, Tennessee State Rep. Justin J. Pearson declared that racist gerrymandering and attacks on Black voting rights cannot stop a growing Southern movement for justice and political power.
At the All Roads Lead to The South rally in Montgomery, Alabama, Tennessee State Rep. Justin J. Pearson delivered a fiery speech condemning Donald Trump, the Supreme Court, and ongoing efforts to erase Black political power across the South. Pearson framed the fight over voting rights and racial gerrymandering as part of a generations-long struggle stretching from slavery and Reconstruction to modern attacks on majority-Black districts and voting protections. He warned that the “new Jim Crow” now operates through maps, court rulings, polling place closures, and voter suppression tactics designed to make Black communities politically invisible. Pearson called for collective action, Southern organizing, and movement-building, declaring that “Freedom Summer 2.0” has arrived and that the movement will not bow down.
