Million Man March Returns to Capitol

NO JUSTICE NO PEACE

20th anniversary gathering called "Justice or Else."

Thousands of people convened on the National Mall on Saturday to mark the 20th anniversary of the 1995 Million Man March. Called the Justice or Else March, the event focused on policing and recent brutality cases against black men. "I plan to deliver an uncompromising message and call for the government of the United States to respond to our legitimate grievances," Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan said in a statement.
