What is WISOMMM?

Women in Support of the Million Man March, Inc. (WISOMMM), a non-profit community based organization, was created after the Million Man March that took place in Washington, D.C. on October 16, 1995. It was originally formed to be a women´s contingent and a means of support to carry out the principles of the March. WISOMMM has continued the spirit and momentum and is committed to serving the community according to the tenets of the March which include faith, empowerment, self love, self-determination and reunification of the family.
