Today we celebrate the 23rd anniversary of the Million Man March — a call to action led by Louis Farrakhan that brought Black men together by the masses across the nation at the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
The gathering was influenced by a plethora of issues affecting the African American community at the time, from the brutal police attack on Rodney King in 1991 to the racial divide that happened during the controversial 1995 OJ Simpson trial that concluded just a few weeks prior to the march. It created a strength, pride and personal responsibility to change the community for the better overall that helped sparked many movements thereafter, most recently the Black Lives Matter activation that we see today. It’s for that reason that we’ll always remember this monumental era in our culture.
Of course, one of the best ways you can commemorate the day is through style. Even if you weren’t there to witness it in-person, or alive for that matter, it’s never too late to show respect to one of the strongest movements in African American history.
