The demonstrators made their way to the US Capitol on Saturday morning, following a call for “Justice or Else!”, the title of the mass rally at the National Mall, which marks the 20th anniversary of the 1995 ‘Million Man March’ which put the US racial injustice in the limelight.
The protest movement, led by the Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan, has been demanding change from the government.
Speaking at the rally, Farrakhan said, “It is hypocritical that we are American citizens but we struggle for our basic human rights.”
Farrakhan also vowed to continue efforts to bring “change” for black people in America.
