Chicago, IL (BlackNews.com) - In celebration of the 2005 10th
anniversary of the Million Man March: Millions More Movement (MMM), Nation of
Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan, endorses inspirational song One In A
Million.
The song, released by Chicago-based label Warm Lane Music, aligns with the
theme of this year's October commemoration focusing on unity, economic
empowerment, education and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Since the song was completed, local MMM organizational committees nation wide
have used it to help promote and build momentum for the October 14th weekend
events.
One In A Million, is the creation of Christian composer/producer Alan
Curtis Green, who felt inspired to write the song because of his nearly decade
long regret for not attending the 1995 historic march and an answering to Min.
Farrakhans call of inclusiveness among faiths, races and genders in observance
of this years anniversary. In the vein of humanitarian anthems like "We Are The
World," "One In A Million" speaks to the human spirit of inclusion and wanting
to be heard.
Green says, from the time the idea of the song came to him, it's been his
vision, that the song help people to see this march as more than just a march
but a movement.
One In A Million the single has become the foundation of the
commemorative CD project of the same name. Each compact disc will feature the
song, a MMM wristband, an unscripted conversation between 12 African Americans
of very different walks of life (corporate workers, entrepreneurs, preachers and
pimps) exchanging views on politics, male female relationships, the church and
black leadership. There is also the chance to win a free trip for two to Hawaii.

In the vein of humanitarian anthems like "We Are The World," One In A Million
speaks to the human spirit at a time when the destruction of Hurricane Katrina
has the nation asking questions about race, poverty and the inclusion of all
Americans.
To aid the victims of Hurricane Katrina, Green has also composed a second
version of One In A Million, titled One In A Million: After The
Storm.
