No MLK Day

A white supremacist group in Mississippi plan to transform Jan. 21 from Martin Luther King day to "Jena Justice Day to Empower the Majority."

The National Movement plans to go to Jena, La. to have a rally on what is known as MLK day. The group plan to have a two mile march, parades, speeches, and petitions geared towards abolishing the MLK holiday and giving a voice to whites that oppose the demands of Rev. Al Sharpton.

Jena Mayor Murphy McMillian says the group have not applied for a rally permit yet.

“Here in Jena, we are very careful to abide by the Constitution of the United States. So we will do the appropriate thing to keep with that document," he said.
