MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Local leaders and activists are reacting to the insurrection that took place at the Capitol Wednesday.
National Civil Rights Museum President Terri Freeman believes everyone has a right to peacefully protest.
âProtest is a vehicle that can be used by any American citizen who wants their voice to be heard. It is not a tool for only Black people, it is not a tool for only white people,â Freeman said.

Testing for the novel coronavirus this past week at Muskogee County/City Detention Facility turned up 95 inmates with positive tests.
Sheriff Terry Freeman said testing was undertaken as a precautionary measure, one of many implemented by his office since the first COVID-19 case in Oklahoma was reported March 6. Those proactive measures, he said, kept coronavirus outside the jail until September, when a smaller outbreak was limited to 23 positive cases. We re going to keep doing what we do, Freeman said Wednesday after results arrived for the tests that remained pending a day before. We are very proactive about monitoring inmates even before they test positive â if we even suspect somebody might be infected, we monitor them and any symptoms they might have.
