MEMPHIS, Tennessee — "This movement has spread and it can light Tennessee on fire to make history," (D) Tennessee U.S. Senate candidate Marquita Bradshaw said.

Thursday night, Bradshaw celebrated her U.S. Senate primary win and reflected on her mother's influence.

"Her and a network of people across the United States in the environmental justice movement - they were my mentors. They prepared me."
