Ending racism

A Kaikohe business is marking today’s International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination by putting on an international menu and donating all profits to a fund for victims of the Christchurch terror attack. A remembrance book will also be available for anyone who wants to sign it at The Mint, a cafe in Left Bank hotel on upper Broadway. A local supermarket has donated much of the food for the day. The event will run from 7.30am-9pm. International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination marks the anniversary of a 1960 massacre at Sharpeville, South Africa, when police opened fire on a peaceful demonstration, killing 69.
