A MILLION MAN MARCH REFLECTION BRO. CURTIS OUTLAW
Overall Experience It was an amazing opportunity to attend the historical event. For me, the Million Man March allowed me to witness the power of our people. I believe this event was embraced and celebrated by many people of various cultures throughout the United States and abroad. It provided a sense of understanding on the importance of unity and hope within the African American community. In addition to the speakers, I left with a stronger sense of pride, but know that the work is not done and we as a people will preserve regardless of the problems we face. What you would like to see happen between now and the next major anniversary? A plan that is non-bias and explains how to increase wealth and knowledge within our community. My thoughts are that the Million Man March lacked focal points on increasing the above. There was a sense of bashing, but no true ideal or plan that describes how African Americans can become better in there households to prevent such occurrences that took place this year. Also, I want it to highlight the success/progress but also continue to stress the importance of education, health, and responsibility.
