As racial tensions continue at universities across South Africa, students at the University of Pretoria have taken a stand against the rage with a social media campaign that’s got many talking.
The campaign urges students to “take a picture of themselves, with a person of another race, in grey-scale with a poster stating: #ColourBlind”.
“These students [in the photos] have made a decision to stand up and raise their voice in the form of a peaceful protest against any forms of racism,” the Facebook page states.
Photos posted to social media sites show smiling students of different races hugging and crowding around for selfies.
