"You know a million Black men can’t get together without any violence?” “That Farrakhan is going to start a riot. ” These were some of the .esponses that I received from concerned family and friends after telling them I was going to The Million Man March on Monday October 16, 1995. Although I was a bit nervous, I knew I had to go, not for the historical significance, but I felt it was time for brothers to stand together and take the blame for our situation, and stop WELCOME TO WORSHIP AT fflSTORIC SAINT AUGUSTINE’S COLLEGE CHAPEL Raleigh, North Carolina 2?r. Q^aletgfi 27. Hairston 0iapfafn ®r. ^J^mard W. '^ravSdXn, ^reslrfcnt ^r. ^iairston The chapel is a place of prayer, worship and study for all persons of whatever creed, color,class or conviction.

During my weekend stay in Washington, D.C., there was a feeling of unity in the air with every brother or sister you saw greeting you with a smile and a handshake. This was a welcome change from the cold stares you get nowadays when walking past a brother or a sister. Walking into the march I notice how diversified our race was, with men, and some women, from all walks of life. Gone are the days when, in order to be considered “down for the cause”, all blacks had to have a uniform way of life and thinking. From Muslim to Christian, to Democrat to Republican, everyone was there for one purpose, and that was to make things better for ourselves. Throughout the day wo heard speeches from Je.ssc Jackson, Marion Barry, and Maya Angelou, all influential members of the African- American community, urging everyone to rededicate themselves to their communities. The keynote speaker of the day was Louis Farrakhan, who spoke for two hours. During his speech, Farrakhan explained the meaning of the word atonement, and told the reason a million black men were assembled on the mall of the White House. After his two hour speech, Farrakhan had everyone make a pledge to stop doing drugs, stop calling our queens bitches, and never raise our hands in violence toward them, and to go back in our communities, churches, and temples and make a difference. After the pledge, we all held hands as Farrakhan led us in a prayer thanking God for allowing The Million Man March to happen, and asked God to let us all have a safe trip back to our communities so that we could go back and do some good. The chaplain’s office is located in room 200A in the Boyer Administration Building. The chaplain is available for spiritual guidance, counsel or consultation, and help related especially to the spiritual growth and needs of students, faculty, administration, and other personnel(as desired or permitted by the same). The chaplain is responsible for the oversight or supervision of all religious activities on the campus. This includes official ceremonies as well as conducting and sharing the worship services at the college and in the chapel. The latter are as meaningful, stimulating, and spiritually fmitful as we, the college community, enthusiastically together enable or make such to be so. You may make an appointment, visit, or call the chaplain’s office at (919) 516 4210. Also calls can come to his home-study for crisis situations, emergencies, or sacramental servfces. That phone number, which has voice mail is (919) 821 5848. yourself w^orld •Master of Divinity •Master of Arts in Old Testament •Master of Arts in New Testament •Master of Arts in Church History •Master of Arts in Theology •Master of Arts in Christian Education •Master of Arts in Counseling •Master of Arts in World Missions and Evangelism •Master of Arts in Religion •Master of Theology (Th.M.) •Doctor of Ministry For more information, call 800-428-7329 SOUTH HAMILTON BOSTON CHARLOTFE Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary 130 ESSEX STREET SOUTH HAMILTON, MA 01982
