Hundreds March in Jena, Louisiana in Support of the Jena Six

A movement is growing in support of the Jena Six—the black Louisana high school students charged with attempted murder for a school fight in which a white student was beaten up. The fight broke out after white students hung three nooses from a tree where the black students had sat. School board officials cut down the tree last week. Hundreds of people from all over the country gathered Tuesday for a march through Jena’s streets. Independent reporter Jordan Flaherty reports. [includes rush transcript]
