October 16, 1995 was a historic day. It marked the occasion of the memorable Million Man March, when black Americans from across the country rallied in Washington, D.C. to unify under a mission which aimed to restore and revitalize the black community. It was for what organizer and minister Louis Farrkahan described as the "greatest demonstration in the history of America, of black love, black men coming together." On that day, a sea of black men stood together in solidarity to send a message that combatted the harmful stereotypes often portrayed against them.
