Happy Anniversary Human Rights
Today is International Human Rights Day. But more than that, it is the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a declaration passed after the nightmare that was World War II.
I wondered how best to use this blog to honor the day. And I decided that since I love Hugh Masekela and Laurence Fishburne about as much as I love human rights, it would be best if I shared a music video that they contributed to (along with several other artists), called “The Price of Silence.” Amnesty International is distributing the video today in honor of human rights. I hope you enjoy. And more importantly, I hope you take action.
