Africa: Goodwill Ambassador #Danny #Glover Calls Out #Racism, #Afrophobia in the Americas #allAfrica.com


http://africandiasporaleaders.com/abcs-realistic-african-diaspora-engagement/ The international community must increase its commitment to fighting Afrophobia and discrimination against people of African descent, United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Goodwill Ambassador and actor Danny Glover has said, speaking during the International Decade for People of African Descent. In a recently released message, Mr. Glover, who advocates on behalf of the estimated 200 million people of African descent living in North and South America, urged national and multilateral partners in the Americas to ensure that policies work with and in support of this often marginalized group. "The three UN themes - respect, justice, development - must be utilized as an interrelated guide," Mr. Glover said, adding that the successes of the Afro-descendent populations help to guarantee successes of the entire society.
