Missouri State University hosting a panel discussion on the Jena Six case
The African-American Studies Program at Missouri State University will host a panel discussion on the Jena Six case on Tuesday, February 12, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., in the Plaster Student Union Ballroom. The event is free and open to the public.
The panel will include Dr. Jamaine Abidogun (Associate Professor of History); Steven Arledge (English Major and African-American Studies Minor); Dr. Dominic Capeci (Distinguished Professor of History); Dr. Mike Carlie (Professor of Sociology and Anthropology); Wes Pratt, Esq. (Diversity Outreach Coordinator); and Maurice Tate (Pastor of Washington Avenue Baptist Church; Lecturer in Religious Studies; and Faculty Member in African-American Studies).
Panelists and audience members will consider some of the important questions raised by the Jena Six case. Has racial bias been eliminated from the American judicial system? Are American schools meaningfully integrated? Does the nation’s history of racial violence inform contemporary social intercourse? Is a case like that of the Jena Six a compelling cause around which to build a new civil rights movement?
The African-American Studies Program invites the entire community to join us in this discussion.
You can bet they will not have anyone from the other side to tell the truth and you can bet they wont read the true history of events from the Jena website.
Will they tell that the black students did not even know the history of the noose as its now told until weaks later? And that the black students joked and carried on sticking heads into the noose before they were cut down.
Will they discuss if its really constitutional for the feds to regulate nooses when the constitution does not allow for that?
