From today's montelshow.com:
Today's show will focus on the "Jena 6" - the controversy surrounding six black males who face serious criminal charges for fighting with a white classmate in their hometown of Jena, Louisiana. Robert Noel, an attorney for Mychal Bell, one of the teens who is charged, will update us on the case that has called national attention to the flaws in our justice system and the racism that quietly plagues our country. Griffin Scott, a local news reporter from KTVE-TV, will fill us in on how the town of Jena is handling all the media attention. While Billy Fowler, a school board member, will attempt to dispel notions of racism in Jena. We'll also hear other shocking stories of how race still divides our country. Shaquanda, an African American teenager, claims she unfairly spent one year in a youth prison for "assault on a public servant." Find out what happens when Nikki, a white high school student, spends the day at the home of Jasmine and Kim, a black family, to see if some of her pre-conceived notions about black people are true. Plus, most people will be surprised to know that there are still segregated proms in the South. You won't believe what Jay and Amanda did to desegregate theirs.
