Help Support the Jena 6 Case
In past weeks and months we have watched events unfold in Jena, Louisiana
with heavy hearts. In response to a racial incident arising from nooses
being hung from a tree at the local high school, a group of six
African-American students got into a fight with a white student, who
allegedly had been racially taunting black students in support of the
students who hung the nooses. Allegedly, the white student was taken to the
hospital treated, released, and reportedly attended a social function later
that evening ...
While the National Black Law Students Association does
not condone violence, the actions of the Jena District Attorney and the Judge
in this case have amounted to a gross miscarriage of justice. The six
African-American students involved in the altercation were initially charged
with attempted second degree murder ...
We are calling on the Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco and Attorney
General Charles C. Foti, Jr to intervene in the Jena Six case to ensure that
the defendants' constitutional right to a fair trial is ensured. The
National Black Law Students Association is working with the ACLU of
Louisiana to provide pro bono assistance to Mychal Bell and the other
defendants in the Jena Six case.
