“The Sergeant at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

A white officer with a badge, blocking a black congressional member, from joining meeting that specifically targets the black district meant to give representation to people of color.

The segregation is alive and well in the south.” - Brian Garlick

@BrianJopek #alt4you Representative Justin Pearson, a Black man with a neat mustache and goatee in black glasses and a black suit stares down an older, close-cropped white man in a gray suit with badge, who has interposed himself against a door as a barrier to entry.

It would not be a stretch to describe Representative Pearson's stance as thoughtful, with his right hand to his chin, or the unnamed Sergeant at Arms as glaring back with a tight mouth.
