The Nationalist Movement, which describes itself as "pro-majority," says it will hold a rally in Jena, La., on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The organization issued a statement this week saying "Jena Justice Day to Empower the Majority" would be held on Jan. 21, 2008, the day set aside to celebrate the birthday of the slain American civil rights leader.
The statement says the Nationalist were "bringing their 'tools for empowerment' to Louisiana to defeat the demands of Al Sharpton." The events planned include a two-mile parade, speeches, ceremonies and petitions as a centerpiece to abolish King Day."
The announcement of the event follows a massive rally held in Jena on September 20th. The rally was in support of six black teenagers arrested in December 2006 and charged with attacking Justin Barker, a white classmate at Jena High School.
Jena Mayor Murphy McMillin says that the town had received information about the January event but that no application for a permit had yet been made and no permit yet issued.
