waters and righteousness like an ever flowing stream may god bless us this evening in this great gathering as we look with anticipation that what the minister will present to us and they on our hearts let us pray our gracious and everlasting god the word gratitude is too small the word but lord we are grateful that you have allowed us to come together suspending denomination suspending religious difference suspending all of those things which we allow to divide us and separate us and coming together tonight under the banner of justice we know the lord that this world is not functioning is not the world that you intended it to be but you upon the hearts of the prophets of all time on the heart of jeremiah amos and upon the heart of a man like dr martin luther king and upon the heart of minister farrakhan that somebody must cry out loud and long whether people want to hear it or not that the wages of sin is still death of the night we will say that yes night is coming but so is the day we pray all of this as we give thanks for this evening amen pastor smith another hand would you i want to say to you tonight that you not i know you not only before you hear the minister but when he finishes don't leave bin because that we have a picture we want to show you tonight of what october is going to look like and you need to see it so please make sure you stay and see the picture we got out we got a live visual image of what we are believing god for and what we here see i see so many brothers and sisters and known through the years i cannot you know we could not have done what we did even though the men were proud without the help and assistance and support and hard work of many women and i must had a meeting at the tennis and learning center and that is such a great we're in if you have not seen it you need to go by seven zero one mississippi avenue southeast washington and see what god has through the hands and leadership of this great woman and so i just want her to come in in our own way what we want to do in the first instance is tie our efforts in october of this year to thank you reynolds and good evening i've been thinking a lot about this it brings back a lot of memories but before i say anything i will let that please take a moment of silence to bring in the spirit of my husband marion barry thank you one thousand nine hundred five was a tough year it was marion's first year back have to come in out of prison he had made a comeback there were those who were hoping and praying that he would be a different kind of mare the kind of mare that they could really except on the side of town and they had their fingers crossed and then one day they looked up and he had announced a million man march they said he hasn't changed you think that's funny but in real terms that was a haunt hard course that we went down in now it seems you know you look out here and you see everybody from all different religions and all different races but at that time it wasn't like that when marian stood up with minister of fair karma the day mr farron on came to his office and sat with him and that's exactly what he did and give him a hand because that's exactly what he  and people left his cabinet and he was attacked by the press i just want to put it back in real time it was not an easy thing to do it was easy for him but he paid a price for it but that's all right because he didn't care what he cared about which is what he came in this world cared about was his people and he cared about justice and he cared about the calls and he cared about the under served and he cared about the lost in the least and the left out and that's what he was advocating for and he didn't care about the rest of those people didn't care about the washington post and he didn't care beyond war three he cared about you and on october that year in one nine hundred ninety five when two million me and showed up and women by the way let me digress for a second minister farrakhan was always going to throw this in it started out  enormous i left the meeting this afternoon to go to a quiet place because there was a lot of references in the meeting about our ancestors about iowa this and not maya was there dorothy height was there who was under a lot of pressure not to be there and she stood in front of everybody and see it i'm here because you are here they are all gone all of my  people and i looked and i see it and i turned into  agis realize i took i just had my seventieth birthday so ok you all respect me  but as we go down this road i'm very excited it's nostalgic it's i have a little sadness i think about mary and the last time i was in this in this room i was with marian at the in the christmas day the christmas our that you have the last time i was in this room we walked around buying stuff but it's going to be great i love the diversity i love the fact that the women are in the forefront this time i love the fact that the young people who are actually many of them a lot of them some of them we met with this morning have been jamal bryant from baltimore had to go to detroit he could not be with us this evening but there are many others and i can tell you many of these young people i see young brother the vision that we have and you're going to hear about it right now and when we look at history we look at it from more scriptural biblical perspective there are some tasks that are left to the winsome work of wonderful women the other tasks that are left to meticulous matter nations of marvelous mean better is some work that need them in nor women can do that work is to special assignments for special agent a powerful word of a man of god who is dead through every kind of opposition to stand with us and for us i'm proud to say that we have been and i can tell you today is two thousand and fifty we're stronger than ever standing together and it represent at a time when religion is most divison it is bird spur powerful for us to be a witness and to share with you be thirty years of having stood together and fought together and work i bear witness that there is no god but he the originator of the heavens and the earth the author of all life land that is not theirs and they will suffer and be afflicted for four hundred years but god said in a broom after that time i will come and that nation will i judge and afterwards they shall come out with great substance and go to their fathers in peace and be buried in a good old age that prophecy looked like it was f thousand years ago with the presence of moses and the children of israel in the land called egypt according to the scriptures moses was the man he grew up in that time in pharaohs house learning the scale and the wisdom o pharaoh but born to be an agent of the liberation of his people he was not an integration  he didn't want to join in with pharaoh because god had told him tell your people i already have a land and i want you to get them ready to separate from pharaoh because i want them to build a nation for the glory of god now you go ahead and tell pharaoh what i said who should i tell them sent me and he said well just tell them i am that i am moses was really fright he said i tell you what god i have an eloquent brother name aaron would you send them with me and god looked at him and asked him who made your mouth pharaoh saying this at the start that god has never sent a prophet that in his message of warning was not an implied threat man say that  god does not waste the words that he gives is profit to give there is a consequence for rejecting a message that god is sending through his profit so moses delivered the message pharaoh was acting like pharaoh in god sent plague after play after play until it got to the ninth according to the court and the tenth plague according to the bible which was a plague of death and that got pharaohs attention something about death get your people and get out here but then he thought about it again you know i'm not going to let them go i'm going to send my army after them and there's always danger when the profits go to doing the work so they followed moses and there was pharaoh's army behind them and the  ritzy in front of them and when you're between a rock and a hard place sometimes your knees get to shake in and you begin to think all kinds of negative things about this is a day that we refuse to pass on to our children a legacy of coward because we were afraid that we might suffer in order to be free million man march the millions more movement rooted in abraham as the father moses as the great prophet that led a people out of bondage as the sign of our work today and the must sign mohamed the law give to be a student of the honorable elijah muhammad and i am honored not just to be a follower of the prophet muhammad peace be upon him but i am a follower of all of the prophets and i bear witness that all prophets are one community one family and i am hon for allowing us the privilege of being here a child i think all these on the front row who worked tirelessly twenty years ago to make the million man march what it became i think a lot for great mayor without him it would not have been a million man march even though that's what we wanted we needed and his help and without dartmouth hite who really became the mother of the who was mishandled by some of our leaders who told her that if you hang out with farah khan that beautiful building that you have now on the street to speak to weakness to cowardice to create failure when failure is your worst enemy today only the fear of god should be in this building not the fear of no government no  so i greet you with the greeting words of peace peace be unto you we're here tonight to talk about justice for all millions for justice but just oils justice oh yeah now if you know anything about your brother i have never backed down from the most powerful enemies from the government of the united states from the power was that control our government from the banks this and the pranksters i have never backed down i'm too old now to stop being a punk after what should or else look like men i i don't not in the business of in flicked in pain you're just in the business of taking pain but only when you want to pass pain around work up to the tenth has to be a study to prepare  for not only that day but the days that come after that day and some of the things that i and others would like you to study we have to understand the end systems who paved the way for us to be here today we cannot in this hour let them down to finding favor with pharaoh will get you what came to pharaoh ninnis to god will deliver us all from the power that has terrorized us for four hundred and beautiful young sisters who have led the fight women are dying from police misconduct not just men but our fight has to be on two fr even though hitler was unsuccessful fighting a war on two fronts this war will be one on two fronts and the first front is we have to but the mayor said that most of the killing in the black community is being done by black people killing each other did he lie but there's an insidious death that's in our community that we don't have the wisdom to do all right now don't have preparedness to stop but we are being killed and the bible is right that we live in the valley of the shadow death we are lucky when we can get up in the morning and go out and come back alive with the forces of death that surround the black and brown and native american communities justice is what we see the crime is so great today that we believe we can unite millions who feel the pain of recant those words of rebellion they're not necessarily thieves when they went in and took what they took that's not then we're dealing with a man who's taken a country and taken countries from people all over the earth and we're talking about somebody breaking into a store taken beer and wine or something out of it and that's and that's a criminal when the criminals are in the white house in the congress in the state house in the city there rebelling because in their communities there are businesses that make money from us and have no respect for u we should be doing things for ourselves but everybody that has come to america as an immigrant came to an america that was wealthy and strong because we may need america well th and giving us a caucasian woman well formed is not pay nor should any of us think we are in heaven no i'm very serious about what i'm saying we don't need a museum to pay the debt that america o we don't need a monument to pave the debt that america oh yes  justice he said justice is the law that distinguishes between right and wrong so every one of us know we have not been treated right and the sad thing is we have not treated one another right can tell this is bible that we pass from death into life because we love the brotherhood so hatred and fracture so the bible's talk and the whole economy runs talk about resurrection is not talking about a cemetery where the dead have been physically economically dead politically dead having no real power to change the reality of their lives the day must  the son of man was told to go in prophesied to the bones because the bones were in this valley and they were talking to each other it's really a beautiful metaphor and allegory the bones are saying oh man our whole lost our bones are dry and we hallelujah praise the lot and when the preaching was done they went right back to business as usual so the says he felt like he was a lovely song they treated him like a lovely song and people have said that they love to hear  preacher but it's just like a a lovely song after the song is ended the whole melody is still lingers there we go right on back to being a full and said lord i talk to the bones say they don't seem to be acting like they should in the lord said don't speak to them go in prophesied unto the win lay on your stomach another wind but the bones now they don't like the bones not shake you know rattle and the bones are beginning to stand up and the bible says to the winds blow these so lame of god you've been put to death put to death by false religious concepts put to death by the teachings of white supremacy posing as agent k that's why the learned we are some time the mole white we are on the inside play in games for the master took the pain and hurt people that's why god don't go to college we're coming alive brothers and sisters when i met some of the beautiful sisters and activists brothers two from  evening together but i knew this is something different because those sisters didn't live in ferguson they went to ferguson because they felt the pain when ever somebody stamps on your toe you know tone speak your mouth open right on my call on because there's a connection between the foot in your mouth through a new system we're beginning to feel each other's pain and that's a sign that life is coming into the black and brown communities and we've been looking at the brown community as though they don't belong to us and we've been looking at  native american community wondering what do we really have in common i'd like to disabuse this silly thinking see the native yet the mexican community the brown brothers the original of them docks skinned indians the blacks had been there a sign of our presence in mexico those giant heads  i notice a lot of light skinned brothers and sisters they're beginning not to like even the positions that they hold on television i see them fighting i see anger building in them i see people that thought that they had hope in america i see that hope diminishing and i see the light and dark coming together as a family as a people we have our native brothers  different tribes but when we come on the tenth of october it should be one nation one  people of the earth and you are not an undocumented alien the undocumented alien is the one to put you off your land and it's time for the indigenous to reclaim what rightfully belongs to them just a moment i was going along with you i really want this justice movement to be successful but you're kind of frightening me well don't worry about death that's going to happen you can run as fast as you ca and high in a cave in a mountain and think you're running away from death but death will find us at some point but we have a chance to know why we die and how we die and the value of living and dying for a cause bigger than  josh came back and said great land but it was already occupied with giants and so he  told moses i mentioned it to the children of israel and they wanted me to tell you moses that they ain't going unto you and your god go in and clear those giants out moses didn't like that because if god is with you there is no giant that you cannot conquer and david not only was a warrior and a king but a musician and a prophet and goliath may have looked powerful but to david he looked like nothing moses let them die out in the wilderness some of our elders you don't belong to the new reality some of pharaohs children and we don't have hope in ourselves we have hope in him and so any talk that would disturb our non relationship with pharaoh that seems threatening to our current known position
