Tens of thousands of protesters gathered in the town of Jena, Louisiana, Thursday to demand justice for the Jena Six. It was one of the largest civil rights rallies the South has seen since the 1960s. State police estimated as many as 60,000 people took part. Buses from across the country made the trip to Louisiana. They were filled with protesters demanding justice for the six African-American teenagers who are facing a total of more than 100 years in prison for a schoolyard fight.

Protester: “Quite honestly, it seems to me that this is the beginning of a movement that started 10 years ago with the Million Man March. It’s the beginning or re-beginning of a movement to make sure that the powers that be recognized that it comes to a point where you just say enough is enough.”
