University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) has canceled an event that was to be held on Saturday, March 30. The event was funded in part by the institution’s Campus Programs department.
According to BlackBlueDog.com:
On Thursday, roughly two weeks from the event’s scheduled date, Campus Programs made the abrupt decision to withdraw funding for the event, citing complaints from the student body about Min. Farrakhan’s alleged anti-Semitic remarks and the event’s focus on the Black community. The campus was willing to host the event under one condition: If Dr. Watkins pays full price for the venue.
This make is clear that it really wasn't about the Min. Farrakhan or Black issues, but about the money.
BlackBlueDog.com continued:
The organization’s decision to withdraw funding comes weeks after the Nation of Islam rented space on the campus for 18,000-20,000 people to attend Saviours’ Day, in which Min. Louis Farrakhan delivered the keynote address.
If the campus feels so strongly about Min. Farrakhan’s alleged racist remarks, why didn’t it refuse to accept the Nation of Islam’s paycheck for Saviours’ Day 2013?

Min. Farrakhan overviews the positive effects of the Million Man March during popular lecture series and how that event gave us 10 years of extended grace from God.
You are going to have to really study the cardinal truth of the Nation of Islam which is written on page 39 of every Final Call newspaper and can be found here to really understand that above statement. It’s real.
During lecture number 8, Min. Farrakhan continues his illuminating message, he discussed the positive effects of the Million Man March which I dare to say were pleasing to Almighty God Allah.
The Minister, on that day, October 16, 1995 encouraged Black people to adopt Black children and 25,000 orphans found a new home.
On an off congressional election cycle, 1.6 new registered voters were produced.
The Minister didn’t use that time for self aggrandizement. He encouraged the nearly 2 million men gathered to join an organization of their choice and to find a spiritual home.
Many Black men made a decision, on that day, to start mentoring young men and many Black men become entrepreneurs because of what they heard and decided while standing on the Mall in Washington, DC at the Million Man March.
Yes, on that day, the U.S. government, the Supreme Court, and U.S. congress all closed down. Then President, Bill Clinton found it convenient to go out of town.
The Minister also highlighted this incredible fact. He said that 82% of those that attended the Million Man March were Christian. This shows that Black people can call a cease fire to religious gangbanging for the good of our community.
