A video in which rapper-actor Mos Def asked students around the country to walk out October 1 to support the "Jena Six" escaped comment by this town's mayor. But when John Mellencamp sang, "Jena, take your nooses down," he took issue.

    • I doubt the town mayor and his crowd listen to much Mos Def...

      excerpt from article:

      "At McMillin's request, the Jena Town Council voted unanimously on Tuesday to create an interracial committee to study racial relations"

      -this is the best news I have heard on this story in a while
