NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A schoolyard fight turns into a national outcry for justice.
Several people in Nashville attended a rally Thursday night to support six black high school students in Jena, La.
Police said they beat up a white student,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. The students had been facing up to 100 years in prison if convicted of several charges including attempted murder,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The case has attracted national attention. Many people in Nashville join others who protest what they feel was overly aggressive prosecution and extended incarceration,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The incident followed escalating racial tensions that started after white students hung nooses from a tree at the school to taunt black students,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Five of the six teenagers were charged as adults; one student was charged in juvenile court. The teenagers became known as the Jena 6,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], taken from the name of the small Louisiana town.
"The tennis shoes of one of the young men are said to be a lethal weapon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said the Rev. Andrew Stephens, pastor of the Village Church, a Presbyterian Church (USA) congregation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in East Nashville where several hundred people gathered Thursday night.
Stephens has joined the outcry to free the Jena 6,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"The outrage isn just about or within the black community. The outrage is nationwide," he said.
Initially,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the students were charged with attempted murder. One student was found guilty of a lesser charge.
"I going to show my moral support as much as I can,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said a caller during a recent broadcast on 92Q,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a Nashville radio station.
Stephens said what going on in Jena is much bigger than a tree. It is a throwback to a racially divisive past.
"It about terrorism. It about creating a mindset where people become so depressed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so afraid that they won say anything about anything,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Stephens said.
Supporters of the Jena 6 are calling for an investigation of how LaSalle Parish District Attorney Reed Walters is handling the case.
On Tuesday, prosecutors reduced charges against one of the students charged as adults in the Dec. 4 attack.
The first teenager will be sentenced Thursday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Sept. 20. A national vigil will be held the same day in Jena to protest the charges against the teens. on Thursday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Sept. 20.
"We told ourselves problems in the 20th century not race but it reminds us in some places it is still just that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Stephens said.
"We regressing as Americans,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Brenda Ross, who marched for days in civil rights rallies in Philadelphia in the 1960s.
Ross said she will join hundreds of other Nashvillians traveling to Jena to fight for teenagers they never met,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The principal expelled the students who hung the nooses,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but a superintendent later overruled the principal recommendation of expulsion. The students were suspended for three days.
