March out Racism

Feedback and reflections on the #marchoutracism display in the Education & Music Library

March 21st was designated by the United Nations (UN) as the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. As part of this day, the Education & Music Library participated in a provincial campaign on the theme “Show Racism the Door”. We used a resource kit provided by the Multicultural Council of Saskatchewan to decorate the entrance to the library during the month of March. We also collected feedback and reflections on the subject from library visitors.

The March 21 Campaign was initiated to heighten awareness of the harmful effects of racism on a national scale and to clearly demonstrate the commitment and leadership of the Government of Canada to foster respect, equality and diversity. It is a day observed worldwide to focus attention on the problems of racism and to promote racial harmony.
