Source: NewsOne Now Screenshot / Justice or Else 20 years ago, the historic Million Man March drew unprecedented crowds of African-American men and women to Washington, D.C. in 1995 in an effort to collectively combat the negative images of Black men in society by showing unity in the nation’s capital. The gathering was also to advocate for political awareness of social and economic issues plaguing the Black community. A moving moment here in DC today. Solidarity and strength. #NoJusticiaNoPaz #JusticeOrElse pic.twitter.com/RwGcua42Qk — Angry Minority (@HalfAtlanta) October 10, 2015 //platform.twitter.com/widgets.js Indigenous and Latin people chanting "no justice, no peace!" #JusticeOrElse pic.twitter.com/YEBc0QAEvp — Angry Minority (@HalfAtlanta) October 10, 2015 //platform.twitter.com/widgets.js In commemoration of the upcoming Million Man March 20th anniversary this Friday, supporters from all walks of life traveled to Washington, D.C. today to be a part of the “Justice Or Else” march and celebration advocating for African-American civil rights in the wake of the police war on Black lives and just ahead of the upcoming Presidential election.
