Nation of Islam organisers say a (m) million African Americans have joined the Million Man March in Washington D-C although police have not yet given an official count.
The marchers have gathered at the Capitol to affirm their self-respect and protest the conditions besetting much of black America.
The controversial organiser of the march, Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan, defended his stand and said he was led by God .
Tens of thousands of African Americans, from all over the U-S, have joined the massive march on Capitol Hill.
The marchers came with one message - unity among black men.
They waved dollar bills to emphasise the economic power of black people.
The crowd was asked to reflect on the status of African Americans, to renew the same sense of purpose that sparked the civil rights movement more than 30 years ago.
But there was no doubting the centre of attention, the man who organised the march, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
He made his way to the stage to thunderous applause but despite the welcome, the lead up to the march has been rife with criticism for what some have labelled his racism.
Farrakhan has called Judaism a "gutter religion" and recently defended his use of the term "bloodsuckers" to describe Jews,
He addressed these issues in his speech.
SOUNDBITE:
So today, whether you like it or not, God brought the idea through me. And he didn't bring it through me because my heart was dark with hatred and anti-Semitism. He didn't bring it through me because my heart was dark and I'm filled with hatred for white people and for the human family of the planet.

Farrakhan displayed his skills as an orator in front of the huge crowd, calling on them to look at each other and realise what a triumph it was that they were all there.
SOUNDBITE:
We responded to a call and look at what is present here today. We have here those brothers with means and those who have no means. Those who are light and those who are dark, those who are educated, those who are uneducated.

He called on them to be proud of their skin colour and rejoice in being 'new Americans'.
SOUNDBITE:
There's a new black man in America today, a new black woman in America today.

But many marchers stress that the Million Man March is about much more than Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
They say they're in Washington - not to support Farrakhan but to save the idea of black brotherhood and to create a new movement.
SOUNDBITE:
"This isn't about Farrakhan, this is about respect, unity and love for the brothers. And we're trying to get something out of this, out of life. We're tired of being behind everything, we want to be in charge sometime. We want to unify and that's what this is about - unity. Look at all these brothers around here."

I WAS THERE, PURE BLACK LOVE! NO ARRESTS, NO FIGHTS, THERE'S A MAN OF GOD IN OUR MIDST AND WE DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT!
To brainwashed waiting on A spook to float out the sky
❤May Allah reward you ameen
I hope Bill and Hillary we’re listening to what Minister Farrakhan was saying.
Bill left Washington that day and he was in Texas doing a speech. When the so called 1st White/Black President should have been in DC. bill was a luke warm President when it came to Black people. He was cool among you and hot amongst white. Go check the history.
1.1--2.2 Million Men.✊✊✊
2 million at least
I was there...
Machallallh
I also was there and can tell you the Minister miss his opportunity to turn this country into its Real Destiny and blew it. I came for marching orders and got housekeeping instructions. And now look at the house.

Wrong! The Million Man March was acidentally called a "march." Minister Farrakhan orginally called it a movement. But the media ran with the word, march. In stead of pointing fingers of what Farrakhan has not been doing according to your standards, I question you what have you done to make the Black community better?????
@Thomas Sankara
Show some evidence. Your middle finger looks fantastic being placed in that a--- of yours. A good place to keep it there. You f---- yourself with bs accusations. You got nothing better else to do.
@Thomas Sankara
Use both of your middle fingers and go f----- yourself.
There was 2 million. Black men there. I counted. 26 blocks long 10 blocks wide
All these recent egregious acts of police brutality brought me here. I’m not hash tagging because there are too many ppl who look like me who have died by the hands of police brutality. Black on black crime is OUR OWN ISSUE so no one outside of my race better not dare iterate that to me. I’m too pissed off right now.
I think that all men should be equal. And Goodwill for women and children.
I was there for this historic event.
I like how the brothers is escorteding the minster in a good formation better than the president of the united states' gets escorted while he travel
Great speaker A+
awe i just turned 10 when this was posted

That doesnt make you the head it makes you the tail.
From this to Scientology wow I knew he was just a big hustler
1948, Mr Baldwin ( Not black, Not yo negro)
This must b organized again more ppl
2020?
They drop the ball. They would of been better collecting money and buying people.
Who are they? Are you a black man? What have you done for the cause lately???
Their doctrine taught many of you( Not, nod, use) Don't get use to [ it]
To answer the first question is:
Because you have all these people brainwashed.
Imagine what this could have been if we would have had a leader.
Why do black people need a leader? Lead yourself.
@@KobaBlack113 Anarchy is never an answer. Leadership denotes unity. To stand alone is to stand defeated.
J Kooley If you don’t think Farrakhan is a leader, you are the problem. The man speaks truth.
J Kooley okay.Who i s the white leader. Who is the Asian leader?
@@King-fz8iw Hon Min said in a speech that no leader will win 💯 % support from the people no matter how effective they are. If you check history, it is flooded with such examples. Many of those who claim Martin Luther King Jr today never supported him when he was challenging this wicked government. Same with Malcolm X and Kwame Ture and the list is endless. The Hon Minister also said, not all of our people will make it. It’s real.
The buck stop here
So this is what happens when we are at work i always wondered!!
Use( less)
See January 6 violent protestors no violence
