African Diaspora and United Nations

United Nations: Approximately 200 million people identify as persons of African descent in the Americas . In December 2013, the United Nations under resolution 68/237 declared 2015-2024 the decade of persons of African descent to recognize the contributions of the African diaspora because our contributions remain largely invisible. Like in the U.S., the Black diaspora in Canada often experience discrimination in their access to opportunities and justice, and face alarmingly high rates of violence, together with racial profiling. From the recent onslaught of violence against African-Americans like the Black teenager Trayvon Martin in Florida; Eric Garner, a father, killed in an illegal chokehold by the or Mike Brown execution by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. Countless murders of Black people seem so unthinkable in today world; yet it is a trend in the Americas and Chip in to keep stories like these coming. Something is wrong in Canada banks. There is a cultural and class bias emanating from within our financial institutions. I cannot quite pin point it exactly. Canadians of colour often find banking a harrowing experience regardless of the bank. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
