I believe the attendence this year surpassed the numbers back in 1995. I was unable to make the travel arrangements to the DC area but I still believe it was a great cause, and this time around, the march was all inclusive and covered not only injustice of black men, but men, women and children of ALL ethnic backgrounds.
One thing about Black leaders, we don't always agree with any and every move they make, but when Farrakhan talks most black folks listen because he says what people want to say and hit issues that directly impact black lives. Other speakers did well too. I was hoping the Minister would speak a little longer during this event, and to go into more detail on the Christmas boycott, and I would have also liked to know his opinions of Donald Trump, Ben Carson, and the other 2016 presidental candidates, however it was a great lecture overall, especially when he talked about the proper role of women in building the family.
I was still in high school at the time of the first march, but if you are black and didn't find yourself in support of this march in October given today's environment and black people dying at the hands of police, you need to check yourself.

Inspired and led by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, more than a million Black men gathered in Washington, D.C. to declare their right to justice to atone for their failure as men and to accept responsibility as the family head.
On Monday 10, 2015 there was a sea of Black men, many who stood for 10 hours or more sharing, learning, listening, fasting, hugging, crying, laughing, and praying. The day produced a spirit of brotherhood, love, and unity like never before experienced among Black men in America. All creeds and classes were present: Christians, Muslims, Hebrews, Agnostics, nationalists, pan-Africanists, civil rights organizations, fraternal organizations, rich, poor, celebrities and people from nearly every organization, profession and walk of life were present. It was a day of atonement, reconciliation and responsibility.
Yes, African American and other people of color can come together in peace, in a place to encourage one another, pray with one another and to celebrate the oneness under the creator, regardless of what tongue you call him.
Deacon Can you comprehend the effect that boycotting Christmas will have on the minds of the children. They will label themselves as bad and start acting out, because of the naughty or nice programming. I've seen it happen before!
Brother Deacon, the Minister has called for an economic boycott of Christmas and Black Friday as a way of "redistributing the pain" of police and white vigilantes brutalizing and killing our people.
I'm not sure if boycotting Christmas is going to resolve these issues, but every year on Black Friday you see people standing outside WalMart, Target, and Best Buy (some of then even sleeping outside the store overnight). Then soon as the doors open you see them running, violently attacking other customers, and rioting all over some B.S. corporate products. Never mind spending those holidays reflecting on positive things and being grateful for the greatest gift of being alive!
Sister Helen, indeed it will be very difficult to wean the children away from that. They will still be looking for gifts that time of the year and their parents will still be wanting to shop. Therefore, an alternative of celebrating and involving children in the Pan-African holiday of Kwanzaa and supporting African-American and African American-friendly business that support "Justice Or Else" should be provided for those who find themselves unable to stop shopping.
