This time we intend to create a movement,
This atmosphere was manipulated, and unfortunately it caused the death of brother Malcolm. So in that sense, I have been saying all along that my words helped to create this atmosphere, and so did the words of Minister Malcolm.
If there is a million, or less, or more, the meaning of this day will be determined by what we do tomorrow to create a movement, a real movement among our people.
The Millions More Movement is challenging all of us to rise above the things that have kept us divided in the past, by focusing us on the agenda of the Millions More Movement to see how all of us, with all of our varied differences, can come together and direct our energy, not at each other, but at the condition of the reality of the suffering of our people, that we might use all of our skills, gifts and talents to create a better world for ourselves, our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren,

We have worked very hard, and now we will wait and see what God will bring. I hope he will bring a great crowd.
We can charge the government with criminal neglect of the people of New Orleans, Louisiana and Mississippi. For five days, the government did not act. Lives were lost.
