Hundreds of North Carolinians traveled to Jena, Lousiana to join yesterday's rally in support of six African-American high school students known as "The Jena Six." The event was one of the largest civil rights demonstrations in decades, drawing thousands from across the country. Chris Kromm, executive director of the Institute for Southern Studies and the publisher of Southern Exposure magazine, has been following the story of The Jena Six for months. He joins host Frank Stasio to talk about the outcome of yesterday's protest and the racially charged incident that started it all.
