Million Youth March

Ten images from a documentation of the Million Youth March that took place in Harlem New York on September 5, 1998. There was a peaceful, festive atmosphere prior to the actual speeches. Near the end of the scheduled speeches, and after the leader and organizer Khalid Muhammad spoke, there was a confrontation between police and marchers which resulted in some injuries and arrests.
