The “Jena 6” are six Black students in Jena, Louisiana, who could go to
prison for decades because they stood up against deeply entrenched racism.

This all started on September 1, 2006. Black students at Jena High sat
under what had been, in 2006(!), a “WHITE ONLY TREE.”

The next day, racist students hung three NOOSES from the tree.

Dozens of Black students stand together under the tree in a courageous,
defiant protest. A school assembly is called where a white district
attorney tells the Black students to keep their mouths shut about the
nooses. Then he threatens them: “I can take away your lives with a
stroke of my pen.” When racist white students jump a Black student
walking into a party in Jena, one white student gets probation. Later,
when a Jena white threatens a Black student with a gun, and the Black
student disarms him, it’s the African-American who is arrested. And then
when a fight breaks out that sends a white student to the hospital for
an hour, the law comes down on six Black students, charging them with
attempted murder.

16-year-old Mychal Bell has already been convicted—by an all-white jury,
without a single witness being called on his behalf—of second-degree
battery and conspiracy to commit second-degree battery. He faces up to
22 years in prison. And the system continues to threaten to ruin the
lives of the other five youth who still face serious charges.
