NEW YORK (AP) -- When the latest call for a protest over Jena Six came, it wasn't led by Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson, but rapper-actor Mos Def.
Mos Def sent out a viral video urging students to walk out of classrooms nationwide this week in protest of the prosecution of six black teens _ initially charged with attempted murder _ in the beating a white classmate in Jena, La.
And Mos Def is not the only member of the hip-hop community speaking out in this racially charged case.
