Abstract
This chapter examines Minister Farrakhan’s and the NOI’s efforts to inject themselves into national debates concerning racial injustice in the USA during the twentieth anniversary of the Million Man March in October 2015. The chapter outlines the recent high-profile cases in which young Black men and women have lost their lives as a result of questionable actions on the part of police officers. The chapter discusses Minister Farrakhan’s efforts to raise awareness and support for the march. It includes a discussion of the NOI’s heightened support from rap artists including Sean Combs and Kanye West amongst others. The chapter discusses the varied ways in which the march has heightened collaboration between the FOI and their activist counterparts outside the NOI.
