Justin Pearson: 'Sunday always comes!', Response to expulsion for gun protests - 2023

5 April 2023, Nashville, Tennessee, USA


Yes. I tell you, it was a sad day on Saturday. All hope seemed to be lost. Representatives were thrown out of the State House. Democracy seemed to be at its end. Seemed like the NRA and gun lobbyists might win.

But all that was good news for us. I don't know how long this Saturday in the state of Tennessee might last. But oh, we have good news folks! We've got good news that Sunday always comes! Resurrection is a promise, and it is a prophecy. It's a prophecy that came out of the cotton fields. It's a prophecy that came out of the lynching tree. It's a prophecy that still lives in each and every one of us in order to make the state of Tennessee the place that it oughta be and so I've still got hope, because I know we are still here, and we will never quit!
