Celebrating diversity - Race Relations day

Every year communities across the country host events - from food fairs to cultural festivals - to celebrate Race Relations Day.

This year's Race Relations Day theme "Big Change Starts Small" was created by a Vietnamese Kiwi who had lived in Auckland for less than a year when he won last year's Race Unity Speech Competition. Thai An Vo's speech is inspirational because it is achievable.

The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, held on March 21 every year (our Race Relations Day), marks the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre when 69 black South African citizens - including 10 children - were shot to death by their own Police for protesting against racial apartheid laws.
