"It has been 20 years since 1 million Black men assembled on the National Mall for the Million Man March.

"This no-holds barred discussion with Minister Louis Farrakhan will focus on lessons learned - good and bad - from the March 20 years ago, and the 10 year anniversary March in 2005, as well as the agenda that will be implemented for this year's Justice Or Else! rally."
