Free the Jena Six

Six black high school students in Jena, Louisiana are facing long term prison sentences for a school fight that broke out after nooses were hung from a "whites only" tree. Apparently the white students that hung the nooses were upset that a black student had gotten permission from the school authorities to sit under their tree...

(Can you believe that this level of racism and stupidity still exists in this country?!?!)

Anyway, here's a short documentary report with the full details of the case.


And here's an update from Democracy Now. Seems that the tree in question has been cut down.


Edited to add a special thanks to Knuckles for sending in the top video!
