Another Million Man March?

Farrakhan May Hold Another ‘Million Man March’
by George E. Curry
NNPA Editor-in-Chief

WASHINGTON (NNPA) – Minister Louis Farrakhan is considering organizing another national march next year – the 10th anniversary of the Million Man March – to encourage African-Americans to keep a larger share of their $688 billion annual spending in the Black community.

That disclosure was ignored last week after the Nation of Islam leader held a 2-hour speech/news conference at the National Press Club here that dealt primarily with the U.S. occupation of Iraq, the Middle East and foreign affairs.

“I’m not so much interested in a march,” Farrakhan said, replying to a question. “I’m not too much interested in gathering a million or 2 million men in one place – unless it is to direct those men to do that which will liberate our people.”

Warming to his subject, he said, “There is no reason for Morris Brown [a financially troubled Black college in Atlanta] to close. There is no reason that we don’t have hospitals and clinics across this nation to service our needs. It’s the misuse of our dollars. So, I don’t see any reason to call 2 million men again, unless we’re calling them for serious work.”
