On 21 March 1960, the township of Sharpeville, South Africa was struck by violence when police opened fire and killed 69 people peacefully demonstrating against apartheid "pass laws". Since then, the international community not only commemorates the tragedy that occurred on March 21, 1960, but also works together to combat racism and discrimination wherever they exist.

To help spread awareness of and find solutions to eliminate racism and discrimination, theUWSA Womyn's Centre will be hosting a movie screening on March 18th, at 4pm at the Ambassador Auditorium. The movie we will be screening is called "Crash", which is based on the existence of racism and discrimination and how conflicts relating to it are resolved.

Students and all community members are encouraged to attend this event and join us for a movie, refreshments and discussion. Please note this movie is rated R and is not suitable for children.
