Young people of color across the country were galvanized to stand up for equal protection in the criminal justice system. But white progressives didn’t join them in Jena and prominent progressive leaders largely ignored the significance of the Jena Protests. How do we change the ways white Americans think about justice and national community, so that youth of color become “all of our” youth?</SPAN></FONT></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: auto;"> <O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal">Presenter: Lydia Bean, co-founder of FRIENDS OF JUSTICE (<A href="http://friendsofjustice.wordpress.com">http://friendsofjustice.wordpress.com</A>), the faith-based civil rights organization that first investigated the Jena case and broke the story to the media.
