Million Family March
 
I was in attendance of the march and it was truly an awesome event. It was great to be there and see so many of our own there for the upliftment of the Black Family. I wish that I had run into more Sorors but I didn't(I was wearing a Zeta shirt). Although, I did get a chance to take a few pictures.

I was, however, surprised by the number of people who did not attend the March but instead went to work or wherever because either they a) don't like Farrakhan b) didn't feel the march was important enough to attend c)Just tired of the "Million Marches" in general

What do you think?

Hey Pretty Kitty!
I am back in NYC. I did not make it to the march...but I did see the live coverage on CNN. The coverage was pretty bad in general. There was not NEARLY as much press on the Million Family March as there was on the MMM.

Across the board I think part of the problem was there was not a clear articulation of what the million family march was intended to do. Seems to me the turn out of the family could have been much larger if the march were on a weekend.

Greetings Soror Pretty Kitty,

Peace & Blessings

I have to agree with my Sands, Finerwoman on this one. The coverage was really poor and it should have been on the weekend. It was unfair to ask folks to pull their children out of school and take a day off from work.
Personally, I am Million Marched-out. The Million Man was beyond incredible and that was enough for me.

I was in the area, but I had job interviews all day http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif I am glad that I at least got to listen to some of the speeches on the radio and I watched the highlights on CSpan later that night.
