Jena LouisianaJust an FYI for everyone who doesn’t know — thousands of protesters are in Jena, Louisiana right now in rallies of support for the “Jena 6″.

I am heartened by the show of support for these young men who have clearly been overcharged and would have spent the most productive years of their lives behind bars over this, if prosecutor Reed Walters’ charges been allowed to stand.

Now, I only hope that we take this same spirit of justice back to our own communities and call for fair and just treatment of all black people, even if the offending party happens to be another black person.
