The short answer is I really don’t know
Ok, well was it in the hundreds or thousands?
If not, then it doesn't compare to what Minister Farrakhan has done for decades.
So he deserves credit for that much.
The million man March was a long time ago and you’d be hard pressed to find anything that’s come of it that has lasted until today.
The fact that he could bring over a million Black men together in one place at one time and not only give them a positive message but there were absolutely NO reports of fights or violence at that event is "miraculous" in my opinion.
I was there and witnessed how beautiful the event was for myself.
For that event alone, he deserves praise and honor.
I'm not saying he's perfect, but I honor him for the positive impact he's had on our community since the 50s.

Unlike the Nation of Islam resurrection under the leadership of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, I doubt the organization will ever be as strong or relevant after him.
Sometimes the "conditions" produce the man.
One of the reasons the Nation of Islam, Black Panthers, and other powerful Black organizations aren't as prominent in America or even the Black community today is for 2 major reasons:
1. So-called Integration.
There isn't a "Black community" like it was before so they don't have the audience they had to preach to and motivate into action.
But social media and the internet seems to be bringing our community BACK together in many ways; especially the FBA movement.
2. They did their jobs so well that White people are less OPENLY hostile as they were in the past.
Organizations like the Nation of Islam and the Black Panthers scared the shit out of the average White person to the point that they stopped being openly hostile.
But once this stopped happening....a lot of the organizations became less aggressive as well.
The Nation of Islam under the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was far more strict and aggressive than under Minister Farrakhan because the racism at that time was far more harsh and open.
The conditions often produce the men necessary to deal with them.
But don't worry, Trump may bring the "conditions" back....lol.
