Ed, I am not surprised one bit that the Jena 6 Bell boy is being held without bail. Not just our people but everyone is going to learn that this is the pain and hurt you get from the struggle. It’s been happening to me for over 25 years. But I’m going to stand strong no matter what, and I hope everyone joins the bandwagon. If everyone knew the history of that prison, you’d ask why that kid was sent there, and why it is still standing. What happens to one happens to all. It has nothing to do with race but with dignity, trust, honesty. Peace!

Joining the fight

We were moved by the speeches our local leaders gave about the Jena 6 last week. If you missed them, check out the video we have up at www.trentonian.com.— Ed. Note
