Last summer, the Congressional Black Caucus, among others, endorsed the Millions More Movement. With this ten-year commemoration of the 1995 Million Man March, organizers hoped to "gather the best, brightest and most willing minds to mobilize and organize our people, and to develop short and long range plans and programs to encourage" cultural, economic, educational, political, social, spiritual and moral development among Black men and their communities. To that end, a diverse list of nationally known Black men, from Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan to entertainment mogul Russell Simmons to reparations activist Conrad Worrill, supported the commemoration.
