Publisher's Synopsis
In Jena, a small town in Louisiana, two nooses are left as a warning to black students trying to integrate their playground, fights break out across town, a white man pulls a shotgun on black students, someone burns down most of the school, the DA puts six black students on trial for attempted murder, and the quiet town of Jena becomes the site of the largest civil rights demonstration in the South since the 1960s. The Jena 6 is a powerful example of racial justice in America - where the lynching noose has been replaced by the DA's pen.
