Jena 6

This quote right here, "Once it is understood that segregation functions as a systematic labeling device, it should be clear that any state action that results in the maintenance of the segregated system is a direct and proximate cause of the injuries suffered by black children in segregated schools and is in violation of the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment," made me think about this immediately when I read it.

You all may remember this from some time ago about the Jena 6.
