Wow, time flies.
I remember news outlets seeking out and only airing segments of interviews of men saying "I dont agree with the Minister about everything , but I felt I had to be here"..
Not sure if the impact can be measured in a packaged, statistically way, but Im sure that many men changed their lives and started making steps for self improvement on that day.
Long live the spirit of the Million Man March!

Magical day.
I didn't even have a camcorder at the time, Breh. Even still, I remember everything about that day.
The first thing I remember is that even though I had been on the National Mall several times, I had NEVER seen that many people on the mall at one time!
The crowd was a sea of beatiful Black brothers of all ages standing shoulder to shoulder. Strong & resolute.
I saw brothers focus on the words of Dr. Betty Shabazz, dikk Gregory, and Marion Barry. I saw brothers shed tears of pride when Stevie Wonder sang. I remember the intense feeling of pride & power when the Hon. Min. Louis Farrakhan delivered his message.
I remember dapping up & hugging brothers who travelled from all over to stand in solidarity with a million other brothers.
There were no fights or arguments, only peace & unity.
Another thing I remember is that the evening news said that there were only about 300,000 men at the March, but there was not an empty spot anywhere on the Mall. We numbered easily a million-plus that day.
