Jena 6
As the tears of injustice fall upon the faces of the targeted while they languish in anger and fear. While the shackles of discrimination are upon us all, we must undoubtedly do more than show that we care.
We must continue fight, not only for the Jena 6 but for our selves as well. We must also show that we will not succumb to intimidation, oppression and discrimination. Let’s show the world our true meaning of existence. We must make a firm stand here and now because this is where we dwell, in a cynical world bound for hell.
