Now as dusk quickly turns to day we begin to see more and more beautiful black faces dressed in black greeting one another with kisses and hugs like family members that had been separated for many year and are glad to see each other it doesn't matter if we knew each other it was our love for our fellow man, our brothers and sister that was in the air, was this the real unity God intended. As time pasted more and more of our family members gathered from all over the country places like Texas, Atlanta, California, New York, Maryland, Alaska, Mississippi, Florida, Africa and many other places all with the same thing in mind freeing the Jena6 .
As we all marched into Jena chatting and signing old gospel spirituals, holding signs with slogans on them we soon came to realize that most of Jena residents have gone fishing for the day or are all locked away in their homesschools closed for the day and businesses locked up tighter than the prison that just a few miles away that holds one of the Jena6, the town reminds me of one of those old western movie were the bad guy comes into town for the climatic gun fight only to find the town deserted and the only thing moving is that tumble weed rolling across the street. Well, we are here for a fight but, not a gun fight but, a fight for justice, a fight for right and wrong and we are not the bad guys we are all sheriffs for justice and are here to put the "BAD" guys of inequality, stereo-typing, racism, hatred and bigotry in jail because, it's time that we as people put all of those unjust attitudes to rest for good they will no longer be tolerated in this day and age. It like the quote from Marcus Garvey " I would be nothing else in God's creation but a Black Man!"
More to come later!!!
