21 de marzo
Día Internacional de la Eliminación de la Discriminación Racial

El Día Internacional de la Eliminación de la Discriminación Racial se celebra el 21 de marzo de cada año. Ese día, en 1960, la policía abrió fuego y mató a 69 personas en una manifestación pacífica contra las leyes de pases del apartheid que se realizaba en Sharpeville, Sudáfrica. Al proclamar el Día en 1966, la Asamblea General instó a la comunidad internacional a redoblar sus esfuerzos para eliminar todas las formas de discriminación racial ( resolución 2142 (XXI) ).

Paul McCartney    Ebony And Ivory 

Ebony and ivory,

Live together in perfect harmony,

Side by side on my piano keyboard,

Oh, lord, why don't we?

We all know that people are the same wherever you go,

There is good and bad in ev'ryone.

And we learn to live, we learn to give each other

What we need to survive, together alive.

Ebony and ivory,

Live together in perfect harmony,

Side by side on my piano keyboard,

Oh, lord, why don't we?

Ebony, ivory,

Living in perfect harmony.

Ebony, ivory.

Ooh -

We all know that people are the same wherever you go,

There is good and bad, mm-mm, in ev'ryone.

We learn to live when we learn to give each other

What we need to survive, together alive.

Ebony and ivory,

Live together in perfect harmony,

Side by side on my piano keyboard,

Oh, lord, why don't we?

Side by side on my piano keyboard,

Oh, lord, why don't we-ee-ee-ee, we?

Ebony, ivory, living in perfect harmony

Ebony, ivory, are living in perfect harmony.

Ebony, ivory,

Living in perfect harmony.

Ebony, ivory,

Living in perfect harmony.

Ebony, ivory,

Living in perfect harmony.

Ebony, ivory,

Living in perfect harmony
