White Separatist Group Sues Town of Jena Over Parade Rules

A white separatist group planning a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade in Jena, La., is suing the town, claiming officials are violating the Constitution by asking participants not to bring firearms, changing the parade route by one block, and requiring the posting of a bond. The Nationalist Movement filed the federal lawsuit December 14 and is seeking a temporary restraining order to keep the town from interfering with the Learned, Miss.-based group's Jena Justice Day rally. Group officials claim the town's rules violate their 14th Amendment rights to due process. The planned January 21 march is in response to the thousands who rallied on September 20 in Jena in support of six black teens who have become known as the ''Jena 6,'' and against what they claimed was disproportionately harsh treatment of blacks by prosecutors.
