Africana News Network Issues Forum 3: The Millions More Movement

As many of you know, the Millions More Movement (MMM) occurs on this coming Saturday, October 15, 2005 at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Some believe, the gathering and movement will come to represent the largest mass movement in African American history, since the Garvey Movement and even the Civil Rights Movement. This potential fact is evidenced as a cross-section of leaders from the Civil Rights establishment, the Women's movement, the Congressional Black Caucus, the Hip Hop Generation, Black religious demoniations, and many more, have already endorsed the movement, and seek to build a broad and substantive coalition representing the diverse spectrum of Black America. Furthermore, the ten point program of the MMM seeks to address virually every area of concern to Africana peoples in the U.S. and abroad.

Contrastingly, there is also as much criticism as there is praise for the MMM and its leader, the Hon. Minister Louis Farrakhan. Regardless of whatever your position on the gathering and prospective movement or the leadership, the idea of mass coaltion building and cessation of egoism among black, hispanic, and poor leaders is long overdue.
