Justin J. Pearson's tumultuous journey to Tennessee State House.
TL;DR Summary
Justin Pearson, a Black Democrat, has been reinstated to the Tennessee House after being expelled for participating in a gun control protest. Pearson and fellow Democrat Justin Jones were banished by Republicans over their role in the protest on the House floor over a recent deadly Nashville school shooting. The expulsions drew accusations of racism, with Johnson surviving by one vote. Pearson and Jones plan to run in special elections for the seats later this year.
