Two years after the Million Man March in Washington, a group called on 1 million Black women to attend a similar rally in Philadelphia this fall. The national organizing committee for the Million Woman March said the October 25th rally was designed to raise awareness of several issues: education and healthcare in Black communities and the difficult transition after prison for Black women. The march also would be in support of a probe led by Congressmember Maxine Waters of California into published reports of links between the CIA and crack cocaine suppliers in California.
