My passion #2StandUp2Racism#Strong.

As a former #NSHumanRightsCommissioner I believe it was in 2013 that we had created a #RacialProfilling document which was the first of its kind in the country.Also with March 21st approaching which is #TheInternationalDay 4 the #EliminationofRacialDiscrimination,this needs2 Stop

On this his 93rd birthday we as a nation never got the chance to experience the full greatness of his life’s vision he had dreamt & prayed about in solitude.
We owe it to Rev. King to work diligently everyday to continue his dream of a better & more unified society.#MLK,#MLKDAY
