Sunday is the International Day for People of African Descent — a chance to celebrate the extraordinary contributions of the African diaspora around the world. “We also recognise enduring injustices. The legacies of slavery and colonialism cast long shadows – seen in systemic racism, unequal economies and societies, and the digital divide," #UnitedNations Secretary-General antonioguterres said. From speaking up and spreading words of tolerance and compassion to engaging in constructive discussions and volunteering in support of vulnerable groups, all of us can do our part to #StandUp4HumanRights and #FightRacism, discrimination and hatred.
