CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Nation of Islam’s Executive Council visited here to work logistics for the 2012 Holy Day of Atonement, which commemorates the 17th anniversary of the historic Million Man March. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan announced to over 57,000 followers on Twitter that Charlotte would be the host city for the 2012 Holy Day of Atonement in a June tweet.
