SUMMARY:International Day for Tolerance (United Nations)
DESCRIPTION:“Tolerance is respect\, acceptance\, and appreciation of the rich diversity of our world’s cultures\, our forms of expression and ways of being human.” – UNESCO’s 1995 Declaration of Principles on Tolerance \n  \n\n\nIn 1996\, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 51/95 proclaiming 16 November as International Day for Tolerance. \nThis action followed the adoption of a Declaration of Principles on Tolerance by UNESCO’s Member States on 16 November 1995.

It is respect and appreciation of the rich variety of our world’s cultures\, our forms of expression and ways of being human. Tolerance recognizes the universal human rights and fundamental freedoms of others. People are naturally diverse; only tolerance can ensure the survival of mixed communities in every region of the globe. \nhttps://www.unesco.org/en/days/tolerance

SUMMARY:Marcus Garvey Day
DESCRIPTION:Marcus Garvey Day “commemorates Marcus Moziah Garvey\, a Jamaican-born Black political activist\, publisher\, and journalist (to name a few). Garvey was probably the most charismatic Afro-American leader until Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He established a chain of businesses including factories\, hotels\, restaurants\, grocery stores\, and laundries and was the founder of the Negro World newspaper\, Black Star Line\, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). Garvey popularized\, and is credited for\, the phrase “Black Is Beautiful”\, giving his followers and supporters a sense of hope and power. \nBorn August 17\, 1887\, Marcus Garvey was the youngest of 11 children to a stonemason father and domestic servant mother. Being a descendant of African slaves (the Irish last name Garvey had been inherited by his ancestors from their former owners)\, he was at the lowest level of the Jamaican social hierarchy. At the age of 14\, Garvey left for Kingston and joined the labor union for a local print shop in Kingston\, which set the stage for his activism work. \nIn 1914\, Garvey started the first UNIA in Jamaica and three years later established the first in Harlem\, NY. By 1919\, UNIA membership grew to more than four million members. Later\, Marcus Garvey became targeted by the then Bureau of Investigation due to his outspoken activism and Black nationalism. This would eventually lead to his imprisonment for five years in Atlanta where he would write his famous paper First Message to the Negroes of the World from Atlanta Prison.After his release\, he traveled to speak to the League of Nations to speak of racial issues and the worldwide abuse of people of color and later established the People’s Political Party in Jamaica to support worker’s rights and the poor. Garvey lived and worked in London from 1935 until his death in 1940.” \nThough not embraced by many of his peers for his separatists/nationalist views\, Garvey’s legacy as a leader\, speaker\, and activist continues worldwide.” \nSourced from https://www.unco.edu/equity-inclusion/communications/marcus-garvey-aug22.aspx

SUMMARY:International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition
DESCRIPTION:On the night of 22 to 23 August 1791\, in Saint Domingue\, today the Republic of Haiti\, saw the beginning of the uprising that would play a crucial role in the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade. \nIt is against this background that the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition is commemorated on 23 August each year. It was first celebrated in a number of countries\, in particular in Haiti (23 August 1998) and Gorée Island in Senegal (23 August 1999). \n\n\nThis International Day is intended to inscribe the tragedy of the slave trade in the memory of all peoples. In accordance with the goals of the intercultural project “The Routes of Enslaved Peoples”\, it should offer an opportunity for collective consideration of the historic causes\, the methods and the consequences of this tragedy\, and for an analysis of the interactions to which it has given rise between Africa\, Europe\, the Americas and the Caribbean. \n\n\n\nSourced from https://www.unesco.org/en/days/slave-trade-remembrance
