March 21marks the anniversary of the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre in South Africa when police opened fire on hundreds of Black South Africans protesting Apartheid, killing 67 and wounding 186. It has since been declared the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. The University of Toronto invested a minimum of 5.5 million dollars in Apartheid South Africa (Fagon, 1987), contributing to enduring political, economic and social damanges unto Black people.
Join us in a candle-light vigil to once again call for acknowledgement, reconciliation and reparations.
