The rally on behalf of the Jena 6 will take place this Thursday, September 20, 2007 in Jena, LA. Those who cannot attend are being asked to wear black to show support. Those of you who are going should wear black as well.
Also, if anyone is going to the rally, please send over an email. I would love to see if you could submit some photos from the event.
SEND IN PHOTOS OF YOU ROCKING BLACK
Send in those photos of you and your friends rocking black. If we get enough we will post them on the blog! concreteloop@gmail.com
I’m all over it. Imma be in so much BLACK they might not be able to see me tomorrow!!!!
i wish i could go and show my support in Jena but ill b sporting my black t anyways! MAKE SURE U SUPPORT THE JENA 6!
Easy for me. I wear black almost everyday.
I would love to support but I’m on the other side of the equator.
It’s sort of sad that we have to have this “silent” protest. I think if this were any other situation I know some others would be sporting T-shirts with slogans like FREE THE JENA SIX or whatever. But I guess we’re not there yet. Surprised no one has thought of that yet. You know how we love to sell stuff. lol
@ Ms_Mac. I have seen some t-shirts around the web for the Jena 6. Do a google search you can probably find some real quick.
I guess I will be re-wearing my black suit again…
I mos def will have on my black. I wish I could go to support, but plenty of my brothers and sisters will be there giving ‘em hell.
FREE THE JENA 6!

i wish i could pass it along where im at but i dont have tha means so ill wear blk and have my kids wear blk to support tha jena six
Glad to hear everyone is taking notice of this issue. I love My Black People.
I will sooooooooooo be wearing black tomorrow. I wish I could do more..
I will definitely be sportin my all black. All the attention seems to be making a difference.
im in texas and our radio station is providing buses for people to go to jena, la. the town is so small, it can not hold no more than 500 cars at the courthouse. log on to http://www.979thebeat.com for more information. rickey smiley (the comedian) is organizing the event.
I live not even 40 mins away but I have to work…although I’m thinkin of skippin work…this is just something in history I DONT want to miss
OH and I will try to submit pictures If I can get off….
I will be representing tomorrow and I’ll be praying for them too. That ish still don’t seem real to me tho, but ig’nant mess like that is still going on. So so sad.
This situation is messed up, and it is a shame that still the world we live in cannot get past the color barrier. As long as people walk this earth there will never be any color blind justice.
WEAR THA BLACK FAM!!!!!!!!
This is where the focus needs to be, to right these types of ridiculous injustinces. Instead, we focus on dimwitted celebrities, who don’t think they live in the real world, and have carte blanche to do as they please i.e. Michaels Jackson and Vick, O.J., etc., We’ve got an epidemic of AIDS, gang violence, drug addiction, homelessness, church-addiction, you name it.
Black shirt (check)
Black slacks (check)
Black shoes (check)
I am on it.
David Bowie just donated $10,000 dollars to the defense fund. that is what is needed. people contributing money becasue these young men will need the best defense possible
I am going to be there only in spirit, but my black attire will reflect where my heart it.
Tomorrow, we are putting all our cards on the table. As for me, I’m going to bet on BLACK.
I added this on the update Jena post but it won’t hurt to add it here also…
You can go to this website to search for organized protest on your area…some are marching, some are rallies, and some of just people convening to support the cause. I hope that people understand that the cause of Jena6 is more about abusing the law and unfair treatment in the name of Justice and Law and Order but it’s really cloaking blatant rasicm.

I will mos def have my black on. I wish I could make it down to Jena, to show my support. If only money grew on trees. But I think it’s kind of cool that blacks will be making a statement tomorrow even those who can’t make it down to Jena, LA. I’ll be fighting for our rights right here in NY. I wonder how much news coverage this event will get.
I was watching the news last week and the anchor man said “In other news the supposedly Jena 6″ I just didn’t like the way he said it. Like it wasn’t confirmed that the Jena 6 was real or not. I tell ya, the media has a heck of alot of influence in every matter in the world. I guess that’s why I’m a part of it, to put my thoughts into it.
@passion21–people are people, it’ll never be perfect, with every one person who believes in racisms, there will be people on the other end who with fight it.
I will be wearing black for sure tomorrow and I will be passing it on
David Bowie just put up $10,000 for the Jena 6 defense fund.
might as well call it ”Black Day”!
@noeatingheretonite…..Good morning.. Thanks for the info…

Going to grab some craft fabric glue tonight and some black tees and write free jena all over it!!!!! I can’t make it out but I can atleast support with prayers and moral support.
Black is my favorite color
I will definetely be wearing black tommorrow and I’m gonna advertise on my myspace for everyone to wear black tommorrow too!
By the way Texas Southern University students have buses going there too.
Yes! I already have my outfit picked out for tommorrow.
IAM GOING TO BE THERE TOMMOROW!!! DRIVING FROM DALLAS:)
I’ve already sent an email to everyone whose address I have with this memo. Spread the word yall. Blatant racism has to end! It’s 2007 not 1807
I will be wearing all black tomorrow… showing my support all the way from MTL Canada.

oh! i actually heard that out here in LOS ANGELES, there will be sumthin going on in the Crenshaw District!
LIARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most of you on here saying that you’re going to wear black tomorrow are full of shit. Y’all know damn well McDonald’s, Burger King, Krystal, Popeyes etc. require you to wear their uniforms.
So let’s be realistic and protest in a way that will really show our power. Just don’t show up to work tomorrow. The fast food industry will grind to a halt!!! That’ll show them!!!
NO JUSTICE, NO GREASE!!!!
I wear black everyday..its nothin…some folkz automatically assume that wearin all black means your evil or gothic but in my case its nither…its just a personal style..my own lil trend. Anywho, I will mos def be rockin black tommorow just like I have on now.

@#48 You a$$ need to be slap for that, obviously if any of the people on here worked at any of those places would you really think that they would be on this site.
I WILL BE ATTENDING. FORTUNATELY, JENA IS ONLY A 2 HOUR DRIVE FROM WHERE I AM CURRENTLY RESIDING. MY SISTER HEARD ON THE RADIO THAT MONIQUE IS ATTENDING.
I go to a majority Hispanic college in Bronx NY and my professor today asked if anyone knows about the Jena 6..Only like 4 people out of 20 said yes (I was shocked, that most people didnt know about this case)….Well he asked us to write a paper about the media’s response about issuses involved in the black communities…Such as the Jena 6 and the recent case of Ms. Williams.
I will be wearing black tommorrow to show support.
I just reminded everyone in my address book to not to forget to show support tomorrow for the JENA 6! I will mos def show my support!
