Not sure who dropped the ball on trying to distinguish between Justin Jones from Nashville and Justin Pearson from Memphis. It took awhile before the display was changed.

OMG. This speech happened in April and yet I feel like it was just yesterday. I find myself watching it over and over again. Power to the American people ❤I love yall ❤

This kid is trapped in 1960 in so many ways I think he's about to organize a bus boycott.

[iheartx]

Wonder how long he spent in front of the mirror practicing his best MLK

[dildobaggins]

“Mom can we have MLK!?”
“We have MLK at home!”
*MLK at home*

Imagine hating stereotypes so bad that you become one 😂

[ronniepatton]

Who is he trying to be MLK? No Comparison!

[jrad]

Its funny seeing some ppl were saying he was just doing a mlk impression. He’s the son of a black preacher. Some of yall clearly haven’t walked into a black church lol

[ccurr]

This is so incredibly powerful. This gives me hope. Absolute hope.

On his right, in purple, TN State Senator Raumesh Akbari, Dist. 29. On his left, Rep. Karen Camper, Dist. 87. Behind him, in dreds, I believe is Torrey Harris, Dist. 90.

Jesus was not black and never will be. He was a Jew local to the area, most likely Sephardic-looking.

I wish better days to the cynics and nihilists commenting here.

Sunday always comes

I was in the crowd sitting in the hallway outside the chamber at the Capital. I am so proud to know you could hear us cheering because he had every one of us fired up.

Both wouldn't speak up for a disabled veteran violently attacked and railroaded seeking justice. Attacked by the son of a Memphis firechief with a weapon with no serial numbers retrieved by cops and courts then railroaded. Shelby County Tennessee vs Eric Green 15-00233 local news half and falsely reported on the issue.

[miggymane]

How did his voice and tone COMPLETELY change once he started his speech??? 😂😂 it’s something about democrats and changing the way they talk in certain situations

[PanzyTheOne]

im laughing because his speech will be taught in schools for generations to come by milennials and gen z. you old people have made a matyr out of him. well done

[AlnettaWagner]

Thankful for strong young articulate and educated young black men who are fearless to speak truth. He is doing an outstanding job!

[america_is_a_myth]

....comments belly aching about his "tone"..
While *IGNORING* the blatant racism taking place on a state level...




God *DAMN*

[Elvis__TCB]

Such racism to mock the great civil rights leaders.

[JordanRobertKirk]

So funny he sounds like 2 people.
Talk about putting on airs after 30 seconds he shifts to mlk
