The Message was "Justice Or Else", which is inspired by the vast disparities in how people of color are treated under the law versus other races. The march also shed light on Social and Economic disadvantages as well. The message was clear, equal justice for all people, or else face Divine Judgement of God. 

"Justice should never look at your color.  Justice should never look at your position or posture.  Justice should have on one side of the scale the weight of facts and on the other side our actions in accord with those facts. When you have liberty but not justice then there is no joy in being free because the only reason that people are joyous in liberty is that there is justice coming to them in society."

Many people across the country were surprised at the lack of Coverage from major Media Outlets this event had in comparison to other more dramatic events such as the Riots in Ferguson, and Baltimore. Headed up by Min. Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, the march was heavily scrutinized by critics due to his notorious stance on race relations, sexual orientation (anti-Gay), as well as woman rights.
