Jena at Columbia

Written by Alan Bean

The New York Times may have been hesitant to touch the Jena story, but they have partially redeemed themselves with this report on the noose hanging at Columbia.  Note the sense of outrage the noose hanging inspired in Manhattan and compare that with the “boys-will-be-boys” reaction in Central Louisiana (and, regretably, in some of the comments posted on this blog).  Jena may be America; but Jena is also Jena.

One thought on “Jena at Columbia”

  1. I agree, and I must say I am disturbed by recent events but not surprised. I recently wrote a song about the Jena story but it seems to fit this subject also.

    Peace Out,
