International Romani Day celebrates culture and raises awareness

April 8 is International Romani Day, celebrating the Romani (Roma) culture, history and people and raising awareness of the issues they face.

Like “Native American,” “Roma” is an umbrella term for many subgroups.

We could call the servant a shrewd investor in eternal homes.
