#FightRacism
Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. It is observed annually on March 21, the day the police in Sharpeville, South Africa, opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration against apartheid "pass laws" in 1960.
This year's theme is Youth Standing Up Against Racism. It calls on each and every one of us to stand up against racial prejudice and intolerant attitudes.
Have you read How to be an Anti-Racist by Ibram X. Kendi? It is the book Ventura College has chosen this school year as part of the One Book One Campus program. Kendi asks us to think about what an anti-racist society might look like, and how we can play an active role in building it.
