The 'white' tree at Jena HS, from which nooses were hung after Black students
sat under it, kicking off the yearlong struggle.
The rally planned in support of the Jena 6 is taking place in Jena, Louisiana, today.
Of the mainstream media, the Chicago Tribune has the most in-depth coverage today --
- Supporters: "Enough is Enough"
- Analysis: "Blogs help drive Jena protest"
- Jackson & Obama: "Jackson softens criticism of Obama in Jena 6 case"
- Contributions: "Rocker David Bowie Donates to Jena 6 Defense Fund"
Meanwhile, the BUS Shop, which is selling custom-made Jena 6 T-shirts, was swamped with customers yesterday, buying shirts to wear or display today.
Call Rubye Hickerson at the BUS Shop this morning to see about getting yours -- (908) 754-8088.
- Tuesday - "Show your Jena support"
- Saturday - "Jena 6 Update: Conviction overturned, but case not over"
- Thursday - "Jena: 6 you should care about"
