Jena Protest Draws Tens of Thousands in Civil Rights Rally
Tens of thousands of protesters from across the United States gathered in Jena Louisiana to demand fair treatment for the Jena 6 and criticize prosecutors while confronting racial tensions. The turnout showcased a new civil rights energy fueled by blogs and talk radio as leaders including Rev. Al Sharpton and Rev. Jesse Jackson spoke. Police estimated 15,000 to 20,000 in a town of 3,000, and organizers claimed more. President Bush commented on the case, and an appeals court ordered a bond hearing for Mychal Bell within 72 hours.
