Rally to mark Million Man March's 20th anniversary

Demonstrators plan to hold a rally in Washington this fall marking the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March.

The 1995 event drew hundreds of thousands of mostly black men to the National Mall in Washington. Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan urged them to improve their families and communities.

Following the deaths of several unarmed black men at the hands of police offcers from Ferguson, Missouri, to New York City, the 20th anniversary gathering has a different name: Justice or Else.

Farrakhan appeared at an event promoting the rally at a church in Washington Wednesday.

Organizers plan to hold the gathering Oct. 10 in Washington.
