A2 Y THE NEW YORK TIMES, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2020


October 17, 1995.Black men from across the nation gathered at the National Mall in
Washington to “vow stronger leadership in protecting their communities from violence
and social despair,” The Times reported. “There’s a new Black man in America today,”
said Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam and organizer of the “Million Man
March,” which drew an estimated 400,000 to the Mall. The event included speeches by
many prominent Black figures, including the poet Maya Angelou and the Rev. Jesse
Jackson. The crowd easily exceeded the attendance (estimated at 250,000) of the 1963
civil rights march led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
