The Million Man March

The History Hour - A podcast by BBC World Service - Saturdays

On 16th October 1995 hundreds of thousands of black American men marched on Washington D.C. in an attempt to put black issues back on the government agenda. We hear from one woman who went on the march. Plus the first women's refuge opens in Afghanistan, the son of the man behind the failed plot to kill Hitler in 1944, campaigning to protect the Borneo rain forest, and the world's fastest vaccine maker.(Photo:The Million Man March, Credit:TIM SLOAN/AFP/Getty Images)
