Monday, August 29th at 7:00 AM on the first day of school \u2013 marks the Million Fathers March. Fathers, father figures, and mentors gather at the House of Umoja at 5625 Master Street (David Fattah Way) to march along with a motorcade of horses, motorcycles, bikes, and cars (for elders who may not be physically able to walk) to Tustin Field across from Overbrook High School to greet students, strategize for the school year, and encourage one another. The march will also be streamed live to at https://www.houseofumoja.net/umoja-tv.html. I speak to Bilal Qayyum, Executive Director of the Fathers Day Rally Committee about the event.
