The poster in the background appears to say “free the Jersey 6”. I search it and found no results. Anyone recall the story behind that?
Jena 6
The Jena Six were six black teenagers in Jena, Louisiana convicted in the 2006 beating of Justin Barker, a white student at the local Jena High School, which they also attended.
Barker was injured on December 4, 2006 by the members of the Jena Six, and received treatment at an emergency room.
While the case was pending, it was often cited by some media commentators as an example of racial injustice in the United States.
Some commentators believed that the defendants had been charged initially with too-serious offenses and had been treated unfairly. ...”
Law enforcement arrested six students, eventually dubbed the “Jena Six”, who were accused in the attack on Barker.[26]
Five of them (Robert Bailey, Jr., then 17; Mychal Bell, then 16; Carwin Jones, then 18; Bryant Purvis, then 17; and Theo Shaw, then 17) were charged with attempted murder.[19]
The sixth student, Jesse Ray Beard (also known as Jesse Rae Beard), was charged as a juvenile. Walters charged Mychal Bell as an adult,[27] although he was only 16, because of his previous criminal record and because Walters believed Bell initiated the attack.[28]
