million-man-march-4“This was a call to black men to turn inward and acknowledge to God, to each other, and to the world, that we have been negligent in our responsibility to our women and children, and have been destructive forces in our community. As we acknowledged and confessed our faults, we made a pledge that we would atone for our sins and be better men, as husbands, fathers and constructive forces in our communities.” stated Student Minister William Muhammad, Wisconsin Representative of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and Muhammad Mosque #3 in Milwaukee.
