Let’s always remember that Robert Sobukwe’s efforts and decisive leadership was recognized by the @UN, which made the 21st of March the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. So #SharpevilleDay is commemorated globally. We will never forget! https://t.co/XYD1yko970

Today is Harmony Day. What's that? It's actually the UN's International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. "This Day, observed annually on the day police in Sharpeville, South Africa, opened fire & killed 69 ppl at a peaceful demo against apartheid in 1960."

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Around the world, nations commit to dismantling racist systems that continue to cause suffering & death. Australia instead calls it Harmony Day because we’re used to sweeping our mess under the rug.

No one should have to accept racism as part of everyday life — and the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is a poignant reminder of the marginalisation Victoria' multicultural and multifaith communities experience everyday. https://t.co/e4DAPikjRG https://t.co/hraWXk8oEI
