[Anita Garcia]

At least three busses will leave from Durham, North Carolina on September 19th for the Jena 6 march and rally to be held on the morning of September 20th in Jena, Louisiana. The busses will leave Jena after the court hearing and return to Durham on September 20th.

Banners on the bus will identify the riders as being from the Triangle region of North Carolina.

The organizes are asking that no food, beverages or gas be bought inside the city limits of Jena. More information can be found at this website:<http://wilmingtonjournal.blackpressusa.com/news/Article/Article.asp?NewsID=82133&sID=4>

The cost is $120.00 and includes food, drink and a T-shirt.

The busses will be secured by the Durham Police Department.

An overnight trip for justice!
If you can do it, you should!

This is going to be a huge event!

Funny how none of these details have made the msm. I hope lots of people go, I wish there was a way to contribute online to help. People can mail a check to an address at the web site.

"..A few days later, the entire black student body protested the no-nothing 'punishment' and sat under "the white tree". That day the white District Attorney came to Jena High School for an impromptu assembly, with back-up law enforcement. It has been reported that the DA threatened the silent black students who were sitting under the tree, saying if the did not stop making a fuss about the "innocent prank...I can be your best friend or your worst enemy. I can take away your lives with a stroke of my pen." The school was then put on lockdown for the remaining week..."

"..Friday night, December 1st, a black student was beaten by a group of white students at a "white party".

Saturday, December 2nd, at the Gotta Go convenience store, the black student who was beaten up the night before, along with his friends, ran into one of the white students who beat him. A confrontation broke out and the white student went to his vehicle to get his shotgun. The black students wrestled the shotgun away from him and brought it to the police department and told them of the incident. The black students were arrested for stealing the gun. The white student was not charged.

Monday, December 4th, 2006, a white student, Justin Barker, was attacked at school by a group of black students for taunting them with racial slurs and verbally supporting the nooses that were hung on "the white tree" and also supporting the white students who beat up the black student at the party. He was treated at a hospital and released the same day, attending a social function that evening.

Six black students were arrested for beating Barker, and charged with attempted second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. These charges hold a possible sentence of twenty to one hundred years in prison. They were all immediately expelled from school."
