I believe that Brother Minister Louis Farrakhan is right when, looking at the upcoming 10th Anniversary of the Million Man MarchTM, he said: “God has called us to do something great.’’ I believe that the tremendous legacy set by the appearance of two million Brothers on the Mall in Washington, D.C. on October 16, 1995 should evolve. Ten years later, we should be focused on building upon that legacy with the substance, especially the economic substance, that it will take to make the vision of healing and forward movement a reality. My view is that, one million or two million Brothers should commemorate this event by their contribution of $100 to a freedom fund, such as the Black United Fund or some new organization. That would raise $100 million to begin the process of self-development and self-healing at a mass level. We don’t all have to come to Washington, to do that; there could be a symbolic commemoration in Washington, but a more fundamental, local day of contributions by Blacks to those issues that are crying out for financial support. And even if a person doesn’t have $100, they can give whatever they have. [more]
