Larry Holmes tries with only moderate success to lead the group through the chant of "WHY ARE WE HERE? TO SUPPORT THE HOTEL WORKERS!" Realizing that he was not having much success with his original chant, Holmes changed to "WE'RE HERE! WE'RE HERE! WE'RE HERE FOR THE HOTEL WORKERS!" as this seemed more logical. This second chant also caught on quickly and the marchers ran with it.
The Million Worker March was a pro-labor rally organized by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) Local 10, held on October 17, 2004 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC.
