March 21 is International Day for the Elimination 1 of Racial Discrimination. It commemorates 2 a tragedy that happened in the town of Sharpeville in South Africa on this day in 1960. Police opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration 3 against the apartheid laws. The massacre 4 shocked the world. For many years this day was known as Sharpeville Day in South Africa. In 1966, the UN General Assembly created this special day, calling on all countries to redouble their efforts to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination, once and for all. Every March 21st, the offices of the United Nations High Commissioner 5 for Human Rights in Geneva and New York conduct activities to highlight the evil of racism 6 and our duty to combat it.


This day perhaps played a role in the ending of apartheid in South Africa. Today the country is a multi-racial society where the government is promoting equality at all levels. The ending of apartheid and the discrimination that went with it opened up South Africa to greater economic development. UN General-Secretary Ban Ki-moon spoke 7 of how racism affects human rights and becomes an obstacle to a nation’s development: "Racist 8 practices hurt their victims, but they also limit the promise of entire societies where they are tolerated. They prevent individuals from realizing their potential and stop them from contributing fully 9 to national progress." Racism is still a damaging force in today’s world. Try and make a difference on March 21.
