Free the Jena 6—On the Air
Revolution correspondent Alice Woodward reported the story of the Jena 6 on KALW, an NPR station in San
Francisco on August 3. On August 14, she was interviewed live from Jena on Michael Slate’s show “Beneath the
Surface” on KPFK in Los Angeles. That show can be downloaded at
http://64.27.15.184/parchive/mp3/kpfk_070814_170300bts_michael.mp3. On August 23, Alice Woodward was the guest
on the Power 98 Morning Madhouse, on hip hop and R&B station WPEG in Charlotte. The hosts—No Limit Larry, Janine
Davis, Tone X, and Church Boy—organized listeners live on the air to get on buses to Jena. They announced the phone
number to get on the bus from Charlotte, and called on listeners who had more busses to make them available to take people to
protest in Jena at the scheduled sentencing of Mychal Bell on September 20. The station is making that show available as a
podcast at http://www.power98fm.com/pages/146365.php?contentType=34&contentId=1705
