  • Rally At U.N.
    NPR's Ann Cooper reports on today's gathering at the United Nations to mark the one-year anniversary of the Million Man March. Thousands of African-American men, women and children attended the rally outside the UN called by Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan. His involvement again proved to be a lightning rod for criticism. As the crowd listened to speakers exhorting world governments to atone for injustices, Jewish groups castigated Farrakhan for anti-Semitism. Mayor Rudolph Guiliani stayed away from today's rally, saying it would be overshadowed by what he called Farrakhan's 'rhetoric of hatred'. Supporters insisted that the rally -- like the Million Man March before it -- was not a referendum on Farrakhan.
