Harmony Day Celebrated Racial Tolerance in Darwin
Monday March 23, 2009
Harmony Day in the Northern Territory was held on Sunday in Malak Park Darwin to celebrate the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
This year the event, which included dancing and other entertainment, celebrated the life and work of Tony Fitzgerald, a former Northern Territory anti-discrimination commissioner who died in February.
"Tony was one of the staunchest fighters against discrimination and human rights in general," an organiser of Harmony Day, Nic Borgese, told the Northern Territory News in Darwin.
Lydia Ngalula, of the Congolese community in Darwin, told the report that the Territory capital was had a positive multicultural way of life that Australia could look up to.
