Pictured above are Caitlyn B., Chandlar F., Rexie T., and Rita T., all 7th-graders at Jena Junior High.  They sang "Follow the Drinking Gourd" during all five class periods of Gail Russell's Social Studies Classes on Wednesday, February 27, 2013.  This was part of their study of 1800's slavery in the United States, and the song was a late 1800's slave song about the Underground Railroad.
