Free The Jena Six!

News interview with the father and attorney of Mychal Bell, one of the six black students who were rounded up by police and charged with attempted second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit second-degree murder. Each of the students faced up to 100 years in prison. Jena High's ordinary penalty for a fight at school is three days' suspension. Modern-day Jim Crow.

Jena, Louisiana, a 3,000-strong, 86% white community nested in central Louisiana's LaSalle Parish. Several hundred teenagers live in the town, and Jena's only high school, named Jena High School, is a public school, meaning that, under the Brown v. Board of Education precedent, it's integrated, for now.
