International Day for the Elimination
of
Racial Discrimination
21 March
| The International Day for the Elimination of Racial
Discrimination is observed annually on 21 March. On that day, in
1960, police opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful
demonstration in Sharpeville, South Africa, against the apartheid
"pass laws". Proclaiming the Day in 1966, the General Assembly
called on the international community to redouble its efforts to
eliminate all forms of racial discrimination (resolution 2142
(XXI)). |
