The group, called National Movement, alleges its members' constitutional rights were violated by a Jena ordinance regulating marches and rallies, the Alexandria (La.) Town Talk reported Wednesday.

The group's lawsuit alleges that by not allowing marchers to carry firearms, along with the implementation of a hold-harmless clause and the posting of a bond, local officials infringed on its members' rights.

The group, which has been accused of promoting white supremacy in the past, wants to hold a "Jena Justice Day" in the town on Martin Luther King" title="Topic: Martin Luther King" class="tpstyle">Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

National Movement also is seeking a restraining order against local officials to avoid any interference with its planned rally.

The newspaper said the event was seen as a response to a September rally in Jena when thousands of protesters gathered to support the so-called "Jena Six."

The "Jena Six" are six black teenagers charged with assaulting a white teenager as part of escalating racial tension in Jena.
