Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith Donate $150K Toward ‘Justice… Or Else!’ March

Posted byBy N.R. Alexander | Published on: CommentsComments (27)

This October will mark the 20th anniversary of the famous Million Man March, and Minister Louis Farrakhan has promised the 2015 rally to be an event the United States won’t soon forget.

Thousands of #BlackLivesMatter activists, protesters and civilians have shown their support for the Justice… or Else! march that will begin Oct. 10 at 10 a.m. at the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Certainly a march of this caliber requires money. As time draws closer, advocates for the Minster have been speaking around the country to raise the $1.8 million Minister Farrakhan has asked for in order to fund the protest.

While donations are pouring in from working class and middle class Black Americans, a sizable deposit has been added to the movement. Will Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, granted the Justice… or Else! march $150,000. The Minister announced the Smith’s generosity during a mobilization rally at Philadelphia’s Tindley Temple United Methodist Church.

The Minister thanked the Smiths for their support and called upon other Black entertainers to join the cause. So far, 11 rappers have met with the Nation of Islam to discuss plans for the march.

This historic tribute is expected to draw hundreds of thousands to rally for justice after many Black men and women have been involved in police brutality incidents across the United States.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
