Next week will mark the 30th anniversary of The Million Man March in DC. It was a watershed moment in the history of Black men and Black people in America. The event, organized by Minister Louis Farrakhan of The Nation of Islam, called one million Black men to Washington, DC to answer a call for unity, responsibility, and renewal. The event also gave voice to Black men about issues impacting our community. We look back at that day and discuss some of the issues Black men are still facing. We’re also going to share information on events leading up to the anniversary and the 43rd anniversary of the Anacostia UNIFEST.
