Million Man March Speaker Leads Chant of 'Down, Down USA

Crowds gathered at the Million Man March in Washington, D.C. were led in a "down, down USA" chant Saturday morning by a female speaker. 

The Native American woman proclaimed that Muammar "Gaddafi is still alive" and called for President Barack Obama to pardon Leonard Peltier, a Native American activist who was convicted of murdering two Federal Bureau of Investigation officers in 1975. The woman then led the crowd in a chant of "down, down USA."

"They have a whole race of indigenous people on reservations, concentration camps. They're out there killing the indigenous people spiritually," she said.

The woman followed a speech from Chief Ernie Longwalker of the Red Wind Nation who seemingly was unhappy about his time on stage being cut short.

"They're telling me to stop," he said. "We've given you 500 years. You only give us about five minutes."

Thousands of black people and other minorities descended on the nation's capital with banners and flags for the "Justice or Else!" rally — the 20th anniversary of the first Million Man March.
