On-line commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the "Million March" in the United States; African-Americans demand the elimination of racial discrimination.
CCTV News:In 1995, in Washington, D.C., a large number of African-Americans gathered to call for improving the inequality in American society. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the event. This year, George Freud, an African-American, was killed by police violence, and many places in the United States set off a long-lasting wave of protests against racial discrimination. Therefore, this year’s commemorative activities received special attention. Considering the epidemic situation in COVID-19, a few days ago, commemorative activities were held in the form of "cloud commemoration".
The social media account of "One Million March" launched an online activity to commemorate the 25th anniversary of "One Million March" for three consecutive days from 14th to 16th. Many African-Americans participated online, and many of them took part in the March in 1995. They stressed that after years of American society, related social problems have not been solved. The unequal treatment suffered by African Americans in employment opportunities, housing and social welfare still exists. Especially since George Freud, an African-American, was killed by the police in May this year, related problems have once again become prominent, and protests against racial discrimination and violent law enforcement have continued to break out in many parts of the United States. The rift between different races in American society in cultural and social integration is also more obvious.
