The Game spent part of Wednesday receiving "spiritual enlightenment" from Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, one of the organizers of the first Million Man March in 1995, and took to Instagram to announce that he will be among the leaders of the 20th Anniversary Million Man March set to descend on our nation's capital on October 10th.
This announcement fits with The Game's history of philanthropy. The Associates for Breast and Prostate Cancer Studios awarded him their 2014 "Humanitarian Of The Year Award, and he has given away over $1 million in his own money to the Robin Hood Project.
The inaugural Million Man March included 837 thousand people according to one estimate. One hopes that the leadership of rappers like The Game can help bring out the younger demographic en masse to join the civil rights demonstration and make it a true million this time.
