INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF RACIAL DISCRIMINATION

The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is observed every year on the day the police in Sharpeville, South Africa killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration against apartheid "pass laws" in 1960. The UN website has resources for upcoming campaigns to join others around the world in observing the day. You can use this observance to mobilize other students and initiate dialogue around racial discrimination.
