 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, organised 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.
