—Article 1 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)

 

Some Quotes:

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

-MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.

"The only way to make sure people you agree with can speak is to support the rights of people you don't agree with"

-Eleanor Holmes Norton

 "This is the duty of our generation as we enter the twenty-first century -- solidarity with the weak, the persecuted, the lonely, the sick, and those in despair. It is expressed by the desire to give a noble and humanizing meaning to a community in which all members will define themselves not by their own identity but by that of others."
-Elie Wiesel
