STATEMENT ON “JENA 6” WASHINGTON. Congressman David Scott comments on the continuing controversy surrounding the town of Jena, Louisiana. “I take pride in how many young people have become involved with the Jena 6 case. It is so important the next generation understands the importance of tolerance and continues to keep the legacy alive of so many civil rights leaders before them. As African Americans we have come so far, yet with incidents such as these, it is clear we still have a long road ahead. I lend my support and prayers to these young men known as Jena 6, and I praise the men and women who have peacefully come together and spoken out on these injustices.” |
