International Day For People Of African Descent

It was on a day like today, August 31, in 1920, that the first declaration of the rights of people of African descent was adopted in New York. Commemorating this historic event, last year the General Assembly, under the initiative of Costa Rica, declared this as the International Day for People of African Descent.

I met the author at Hotel Ave Del Paraiso during my trip to Costa Rica in 2019.
