1500 Howard Students Rally for the Jena 6

On Wednesday September 5 more than 1500 Howard University students packed Howard's Cramton Hall while hundreds more rallied outside for a rally to Free The Jena 6. According to Marcus Ware, Howard University Student Association (HUSA) president, this week, more than 400 volunteers participated in educating the campus and promoting the Jena 6 rally. At the rally, students passed the hat, and vowed to raise $20,000 to send people to Jena on September 20th and for the Jena 6 legal defense team. During the rally, one student said, "Those of us who are Black, and the descendants of slaves—understand quite well—that we do not play around with nooses!"

"What we see in contention here with Jihad on the one hand and McWorld/McCrusade on the other hand, are historically outmoded strata among colonized and oppressed humanity up against historically outmoded ruling strata of the imperialist system. These two reactionary poles reinforce each other, even while opposing each other. If you side with either of these ‘outmodeds,’ you end up strengthening both."

From the talk, “Why We’re in the Situation We’re in Today… And What to Do About It: A Thoroughly Rotten System and the Need for Revolution”

"In a world marked by profound class divisions and social inequality, to talk about “democracy”— without talking about the class nature of that democracy and which class it serves—is meaningless, and worse. So long as society is divided into classes, there can be no “democracy for all”: one class or another will rule, and it will uphold and promote that kind of democracy which serves its interests and goals. The question is: which class will rule and whether its rule, and its system of democracy, will serve the continuation, or the eventual abolition, of class divisions and the corresponding relations of exploitation, oppression and inequality."
