The Jena 6 are Free!!!

In another victory, here’s another story where you can take a piece of the credit. Thanks to the your hard work and that of Color of Change, the Jena 6 have been released.

Find an account of today’s hearing with more pictures here.

It’s worth noting once more that the NAACP and many other civil rights organizations were not all the ball for the Jena 6. The NAACP originally raised only $20,000, $10k of which was from David Bowie. Pitiful. But black bloggers, Color of Change and YOU made the difference to ensure that justice was served.
