IMO: Gen-Next Taking the Reins

Blog Editor's Note: The following was submitted on Oct. 2. Unfortunately, the blog was down for a while due to technical issues. CABJ Straight Talk apologizes for the delay.

As a member of CABJ, I am so proud the "next generation" is taking the reigns of activism. I'm NOT "anti-Sharpton" or "anti-Jackson" but I am "anti-do-or-say-nothing." I'm talking about the students of the Black Student Alliance at the University of Colorado in Boulder walking out today in support of the Jena 6 and to protest how they were treated down in Louisiana.

The good part of the new injustices (if there is such a thing) being witnessed is that it is spurring a whole new generation of activists who refuse to go away. They will be heard!


The walkout is in conjunction with the National Walk-Out Movement created by rapper, Mos Def.
