They (Farrakhan, Sharpton, Dorothy Height, and another lady whose name escapes me) were on the local news yesterday. The news reporter posed the very question that many of you have posed within this post
What has changed in the Black community since the Million Man March or what changes has the MMM made?
Of course they all had some long answer that talked about how many more black-owned businesses there are and this and that. They spoke on all the positive things that have happened in the Black community inthe past ten years, but they can not say that the actions are a direct result of the MMM.
Just because one thing happens before another does not mean that the first caused the second.
With the ten year reunion they planned to include women and children as they said they are a big part of the Black community and we need to all come together and show unity and some other stuff, but we can all come together but the real thing is what do we do when we get back home.
I agree that more needs to be done on a local level and that would also make things easier to measure as what the new MMM actually changed.
