Jena 6: Race, Vi*lence ... Justice? Looking Back At Jena 6 | Forgotten Black History

The American Civil Liberties Union today expressed concern about the possibility of racially-motivated unequal treatment in the Jena Six case, in which six black high school students were charged with attempted m*rder and conspiracy to commit m
8rder for fighting with a white student last year in Jena, Louisiana. Although some of the charges were later reduced to aggravated battery and conspiracy to commit aggravated battery, one student still faces an attempted m*rder charge and up to 50 years in prison without suspension, probation or parole. Mychal Bell, the only member of the Jena Six to be tried so far, was convicted of aggravated battery in July and could face a 15 year prison sentence.

The troubling story began in August 2006, when three black Jena High School students sat under a so-called "white tree" in the school’s courtyard where only white students traditionally sat. When they arrived at school the next morning, the black students found three nooses hanging from the tree. In the weeks following this incident, racial altercations engulfed the town of Jena. Under questionable circumstances, LaSalle Parish District Attorney Reed Walters charged six black teenagers with attempted m*rder. Only one white student was charged for his involvement in the fights—a minor charge of battery that put him on probation.

"Given the facts as reported, the Jena Six case raises serious questions about a possible double standard for whites and bl*cks in the criminal justice system—and in our schools. Unfortunately, this kind of problem is not exclusive to Jena, Louisiana," said Dennis Parker, Director of the ACLU’s Racial Justice Program. "Possible differences in treatment between students of different races, the apparent overcharging of students by law enforcement and questions about the possibility of discrimination generally in the school are emblematic of the "school-to-prison pipeline" cases that we are seeing nationwide."
