New in Fray: Busted in Jena

[fraying]

Greetings from Fray: http://fray.com


New in Fray:

When a group of black students in Jena, Louisiana, defied
tradition and sat under a "whites only" tree, no one could
have predicted that it would become a national story, that
Reverend Al Sharpton would lead a march through town, or
that Michael David Murphy would quit his job and travel to
Jena to meet, and photograph, the residents.

But that's what happened. His photo essay, published in
issue 1, shows that busted stories aren't always simple.

Book Update:

Fray Issue 1 has been printed and sent off to the bindery.
This step will take about a week, as we've opted for sewn
bindings (like in hardbound books) that really last. Books
will be in the mail to subscribers by the end of the month!

If you haven't subscribed yet, please do!
Fray depends on your subscriptions to publish.

That's all for this edition of the Fray list.
Thanks again for joining the Fray!
