This is important information that will benefit us all in America! It's 2007 and we are still fighting this bull. MLK started it and the struggle continues!!! Mark this day in your calendar. Michael Baisden is asking all to attend the sentencing of the Jena 6, Louisiana young black boys on September 20, 2007. These boys can go to prison for life behind a high school fight against white students. This is serious family, and could be any one of our youths. If you are unable to show up and send a message about Racism then Michael Baisden is asking all to wear Black that day for Unity and send a silent or loud prayer to those young men who are fighting racism on behalf of us all. Let's wear black that day and pray for these young men. Thanks. Pass this important news to everyone.
