This article focuses on the speech by Louis Farrakhan at the Million Man March, held on October 16, 1995 in Washington. Farrakhan calls on government to not cede manufacturing to Third World countries, but to the Black community. The hundreds of thousands of black men, with a sprinkling of women and at least one much-interviewed white teenage boy, may have been summoned to Washington by Farrakhan, but they were there for their own reasons--to claim political space, to bear witness, to make a statement about the need to do something about the poverty, violence and despair that have overwhelmed so many black communities.
