The Million Man March was a political demonstration that occurred in Washington D.C. on Oct. 16, 1995. The march promoted African American unity and family values. The event was organized by Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, and directed by Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr., the former director of the NAACP.
The march was used to instill a sense of personal responsibility in African American men for improving the condition of African Americans. In response to the march, about 1.7 million African American men registered to vote.
