State Rep. Justin Jones, D-Nashville, told a forum for Black journalists at Howard University on Tuesday that a “lack of democracy is what brought attention to Tennessee," according to the Commercial Appeal. Jones, known for his activism, highlighted his strategy behind demonstrating in the House chamber. “What we're not talking about is the movement to ban assault weapons that are terrorizing ... our schools” said Jones. The forum was sponsored by the Center for Journalism and Democracy.
