## Caption

Six days before the midterms, Vic sits down with Tennessee state Representative Justin J. Pearson, the Memphis organizer now running for Congress. They start with Angela Davis and the idea that every revolution meets a counterrevolution. Then they get into the fight over Memphis’s congressional district, Elon Musk’s data centers in Black neighborhoods, the Black church as a base for political power, and why Justin says what this country is short on is not resources but political courage. Election Day is Tuesday, November 3rd.
