On Oct. 16, 1995, the Million Man March, led by Minister Louis Farrakhan ([ Ссылка ]) , brought hundreds of thousands of Black men to Washington, D.C., in a historic demonstration for equal justice. The march aimed to unite Black men in a commitment to community responsibility and empowerment.


At the event, participants took a pledge to become responsible, active members of their communities. Notable figures like Rosa Parks, Jesse Jackson, Cornel West ([ Ссылка ]) , and Maya Angelou also attended.


“We are standing on the blood of our ancestors,” Farrakhan declared, honoring those who had suffered through slavery, lynching, and systemic oppression.


The march remains a powerful symbol of unity and self-determination within the Black community.
