“If we are denied what rightfully belongs to us then there has to be unified action that we take that will force the justice that we seek.”
Today marks the 20th Anniversary of the Million Man March in Washington D.C. Thousands of participants are flooding Washington Mall to protest racial inequality and police brutality according to this year’s theme: Justice or else!

Cole was also spotted in the crowd, and Native American leaders and black activists delivered emotional speeches.
A largely diverse crowd, including Native Americans and Latinos, gathered before the march, and Native American activist Jay Winter Nightwolf opened the rally with a speech.
People traveled from as far away as California and Wisconsin to attend today’s march.
