The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is observed annually on the day police in Sharpeville, South Africa, opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration against apartheid "pass laws" in 1960. Since that day the apartheid system in South Africa has been dismantled, racist laws and practices have been abolished in many countries; however far too many people continue to experience racial discrimination.
