My highlight and *

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) -
"The new Tennessee congressional map is drawing sharp criticism from Democratic lawmakers who accuse Republicans of racial gerrymandering.

But Republicans say the changes will ensure the state’s representation in Washington *reflects its conservative values. The proposed map, according to Republicans, modernizes the state’s redistricting process by removing “racial data from the mapmaking process entirely.” "

So Rep Pearson's brother KeShaun (and maybe one other person) was taken away by State troopers as they were protesting the redrawing of Tennesse Congressional Districts.

* Oh, you mean "the 'values' " than keep black people in 2nd & 3rd class " "citizenship"?
