“Day of Blogging for Justice” Thursday August 30th
Bloggers, please add this press release link to your post to increase visibility on search engines: www.pr.com/press-release/50358
The Jena 6 issue, like Katrina, highlights how some people receive deference in treatment over others. “The Jim Crow style racism and government negligence, reflected in the Jena 6 case, are both quite worrisome. Unfortunately, the case is another incident that points to the entrenched racial and socio-economic disparities in the South, which this country has yet to fully confront,” says political scientist Dr. Sekou Franklin of Middle Tennessee State University. As the Congressional Black Caucus has noted “we must speak out against injustice and inequality. This tale of two standards depicts a pattern of gross violations”.
The Afrosphere Jena 6 Coalition “ask that the mainstream traditional media step forward and discharge their duty to provide coverage of this vitally important event to their viewers and readers and act as “the fourth institution” of governmental “checks and balance” that constitutional framers intended the press to be.”
The media list is here: http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=111 - contact them and urge them to cover this story.

This is an outrage!!! Tonight on CNN is the first I heard about!! emailing news agencies!!!
So sorry I’m late to tell you but I blogged about Jena as part of the Carnival of radical education
http://guyaneseterror.blogspot.com/2007/08/carnival-of-education-radical-school.html
Sorry I missed it. Even tho’ I did, I can safely say, I was doing something that day about
the Jena 6; leaving comments on blogs, articles and that horrid Town Talk newspaper forum.
My local newspaper did not report on it until the 20th and I can only hope that some online
readers saw the comments I would leave there and sought out the details online. I also helped
publize it online at You Tube. The rally accomplished a lot, but that battle is not over.
