Black men march for message not Farrakhan rally
Black men from across the United States prepare to descend on Washington for the Million Man March. Eddie Staton leaves Omaha to join the event for its goals, not its organizer, while Justin Hunter in Evansville plans to attend regardless of Farrakhan. Officials brace for large crowds, with buses and transit urged to handle the anticipated turnout. Farrakhan emphasizes a peaceful, nonmilitant day of atonement, while some participants emphasize the message over leadership.

Grants push women into bricklaying roles nationwide
Colleen Muldoon, a longtime bricklayer from Columbus, says burnout from proving herself among mostly male workers led her to quit for six months. The Labor Department awards 1.5 million dollars in grants to recruit and retain women in nontraditional trades, with 225 thousand going to the International Masonry Institute to expand women in stone masonry brick and tile laying and plastering across New England Atlantic City Chicago and Seattle. Experts note the larger obstacle is retention and support networks rather than entry, highlighting wages averaging about 23.68 dollars per hour for a typical union bricklayer.
