Photograph of Aziz Khaki addressing the audience at the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination event held in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Dr. Abdulaziz 'Aziz' Khaki was an activist and leader in the Canadian Muslim community. He served as vice-president of the Canadian Muslim Federation and the Council of Muslim Communities of Canada. Dr. Khaki was a strong advocate for human rights, interfaith dialogue, and the integration of Muslim communities into Canadian society.
The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is guided by the United Nations International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and recognizes that the injustices and prejudices fueled by racial discrimination take place every day. Observed annually on March 21, it commemorates the day police in Sharpeville, South Africa, opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration against apartheid "pass laws" in 1960. This day serves as a call to action for individuals, organizations, and all levels of government to actively work to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination, injustice, systemic racism and hate.
