Tennessee: Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the stateâ€™s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end.
Speak your truth, fight and believe.

A short but righteous rant (subtitles).

Lived in Tennessee for over 20 years. Beautiful country. Ugly, ugly politics with a Christian veneer to hide the raw hate and ignorance.

Kudos to this man for speaking the truth.
