 March
21st was declared International Day for the Elimination of Racial
Discrimination by the General Assembly of the United Nations
as a reaction to the murder of 69 demonstrators in Sharpeville,
South Africa in 1960. This year once again hundreds of activities will take place all around Europe, organized by a wide variety of organisations. Activities range from demonstrations and debates to film festivals and from special TV programs to cleaning the walls of racist slogans. UNITED co-ordinates the activities, functions as an information point and distributes campaign material. You can order campaign material at UNITED: Posters 'Equal Rights - Access for All' with on the backside information on this year's campaign, and/or postcards. Maximum 100 for free, contact us if you need more for special purposes.
