NATION IN BRIEF : WASHINGTON, D.C. : Million Man March Audit Is Released
- Share via
It cost slightly more than $2 million to put together the Million Man March in October and more than $66,000 in unpaid bills remain, organizers said in releasing a long-awaited audit of the event. The Rev. Benjamin F. Chavis Jr., national director of the Million Man March, said the audit proves that the day of spirituality and atonement for black men was a success. Chavis also noted that some vendors are still owed because they didn’t bill until this year. Organizers also promised to donate about 10% of the sum collected on the National Mall, which amounts to about $25,000, to the District of Columbia. That hasn’t been paid, but Chavis said the pledge will be fulfilled.
