At Jena High School, Black and Whites sit separately from one another outside during their school breaks —— Whites under the shaded "White tree," and Blacks on worn out benches. One day, a Black student asked permission from a school official to sit under the "White tree," and the official told them to sit wherever they wanted, so the Black student did. The following day, three nooses were seen hanging from the "White tree," which upset the Black students who make up only 20 percent of the school's population.</FONT></FONT></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.afro.com/content/templates/?a=7674&z=1"><P><FONT size="2" face="Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif"><FONT size="2" face="Arial">"That's a federal hate crime when those White students hung up those nooses.
