October 23, 1947~NAACP sent โ€œAn Appeal to the Worldโ€ to the UN. The petition, authored by W.E.B. Du Bois, charged the U.S. with systematic denial of civil and human rights to African Americans.

It stated, โ€œWe appeal to the world to witness that this attitude of America is far more dangerous to mankind than the atom bomb; and far, far more clamorous for attention than disarmament or treaty.โ€

Awesome, 100% CORRECT. The humanitarian efforts of Lady Elanor greatly contributed to the development and adoption of the UDHR.

The Commission on Human Rights was made up of 18 members from various political, cultural and religious backgrounds. Eleanor Roosevelt, widow of American President Franklin D. Roosevelt, chaired the UDHR drafting committee and was recognized as the driving force for the Declarationโ€™s adoption on December 10, 1948.

Here's a link to the first video I use when I teach about Human Rights. The others are in the thread. All the videos are 1-2 minutes and there are 30 videos, one for each human right. Let me know if you have questions.๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ

War is NO excuse to deny anyone their guaranteed HUMAN RIGHTS. Do you know yours?

In these challenging times, let us remember the importance of empathy for everyone affected by conflicts. The scars of war reach far and wide, touching countless lives.

Respect for human rights must be at the forefront of our efforts. We must refrain from pointing fingers and instead focus on fostering peace and reconciliation.

๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’” In the midst of the conflict in Israel, my heart aches for all those affected by the ongoing violence.
I stand with HUMANITY, for it is in choosing empathy and understanding that we can pave the way for dialogue, reconciliation, and ultimately, peace.โ˜ฎ๏ธ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ
