DR. ELIZABETH STONE, Advisor Tribune of the President's out-of-town departure, "It seems opportunistic for the cracker to go now when God's man is in town...This is the time of the black man's rise and the white man's demise." Furthermore, Farrakhan, while saying the march was essentially "for the black women", has done wonders in setting the women's movement back 200 years. The patriarchal exclusion of the march conveys the puri- tanical and Jurassic view.that a woman's role is to stay at home and take of the children. It reinforces the idea that men can solve all the problems for both sexes, and the selfish view that men, and only men, are responsible for all the problems affecting the African-American community. In addition, Farrakhan has alienated atheists in questioning their purpose at the march. "You came not at the call of Louis Farrakhan, but you have gathered here at the call of God. For it is only the call of Almighty God, no matter through A Hqi^se Divided Against whom mat call came, that could generate this kind of outpouring. God called us here to this place. At this time. For a very specific reason."

The African-American men who marched are to be praised for taking the initiative in improving their self-opinion, responsibility, and role in their community. Yet, because they followed a self-proclaimed prophet of God, impassioned with anger and mockingly hateful speech, the march, while its intentions may have been great, heard footsteps stomp upon a trap door. Louis Farrakhan did not reach his goal of congregating 1 million African-American men. Despite his denouncing black men who did not attend as "self-righteous fools", reports have illustrated that thfefe'^vere fslightjly more than 400,000 men in attendance. Regardless of the turnout, a specific message was sent to American people. Letter tV the Editor American people can rest assured that African-American solidarity, as it is meant to appear, has been reached under the leadership of a text-book fascist. Many of the attendees claim that it's not the messenger, but the message that drew them, to the eyenLYet,.when Germans first marched under More on Abortion Adolf Hitler, many of them believed they were marching as German nation- alists and not Nazis.
