LESSONS OF JENA
FREE THE JENA SIX!
Revolution Correspondents from Jena
on Southeast Campus Speaking Tour
Bring them to Your Campus!
Hank Brown and Alice Woodward have been in Jena, Louisiana as correspondents for Revolution Newspaper for the past six months. They have talked with and lived with the people and seen first hand how Jena concentrates so much about society today. They supported and spread the struggle to Free the Jena Six, organizing for the September 20th demonstration and the January 21st protest against white supremacists marching with nooses in Jena.
Brown grew up in Alabama, ran away from home to join the civil rights movement and came forward in the Black liberation struggles of the 1960s and early 70s. He was a member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee during that era. As a Revolutionary Communist he has most recently organized in the Cabrini Green housing projects in Chicago. Woodward developed a hatred for the racism and segregation in society as a youth growing up in the all white suburbs of Detroit. She first became politically active as a student protesting the Iraq War, and later organized on campuses throughout the Midwest for The World Can't Wait Drive Out The Bush Regime. Woodward has corresponded for Revolution on a number of topics including students and youth doing volunteer clean-up in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
Woodward and Brown have spoken on the Jena Six, the oppression of Black people and the need for Revolution at Northwestern University, The University of Chicago, Sister's Uptown Bookstore in Harlem, and Rush Arts Gallery in New York City. They have done a variety of radio appearances from local hip hop stations to progressive radio talk shows across the country, providing first hand accounts of Jena and the struggle to Free the Jena Six, along with analysis of racism and oppression in America today. Their articles from Jena can be found at www.revcom.us (http://www.revcom.us/).
They will be on tour in the Southeast from mid-February to mid-March, available to speak in classes, to groups and at campus events. For more information and to arrange for the tour to come to your campus, contact:
