Today is designated by the United Nations as “Harmony Day”, a day dedicated to the elimination  of racial discrimination . It lamentable that in these days of supposed  tolerance, equality and equal opportunity, so many people are still being discriminated against  because of their race. Many countries have legislated to ensure equal treatment of people regardless of race, but even in those countries discrimination (either covert or overt) is still rampant.   U.S. Justice John Harlan in 1896 said: “Our Constitution is color-blind. The arbitrary separation of citizens,   on the basis of race... is a badge of servitude wholly inconsistent with civil freedom.” Wise words that should be heeded nowadays by many a person, not only in the USA, but all over the world.
