Democracy Now! | Russell Simmons, Larry Hamm and Julianne Malveaux on the Millions More Movement: "AMY GOODMAN: This is Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, an organizer of the first Million Man March.
LOUIS FARRAKHAN: We decided before Katrina that there is a disconnect between the learned scholarship of our people and the condition of the masses, so we felt that the Millions More Movement should put a program in place that linked the skill and intelligence of the gifted members of our community so that we can lift our people from the condition that we are in.
AMY GOODMAN: Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam. Filmmaker Spike Lee has also expressed his support for Saturday's march. His 1996 film Get on the Bus chronicled a group of men traveling from Los Angeles to Washington to attend the Million Man March. This is Spike Lee.
SPIKE LEE: We’ve gone forward, we have gone backwards. And I still think that for me that was a positive event. People might say, ‘Well, we're still where we are –’ you know, when that whole thing started, but I think that many lives were affected forever. So, if I believe that, then I must – then I believe it was a positive event."
