This evening, the Youth for Human Rights PSA's were shown at our mission. Actually, the name is carried something called the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Most people have never heard of it and that's the problem. Learn more about YOUR Human rights by checking out the site above, watching the PSA's (You can purchase your own at our bookstore) or doing you oun research and find out for yourself. Below is a little write-up on it.
About the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was created by the United Nations in 1948. The United Nations came into being in 1945, shortly after the end of World War II. Today there are 192 countries that are part of the United Nations.

Because the purpose of the United Nations is to bring peace to all nations of the world, a committee of persons headed by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the President of the United States from 1933-1945, wrote a special document which “declares” the right that everyone in the entire world should have – the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
