“Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? \u00a0In small places, close to home – so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. \u00a0Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. \u00a0Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. \u00a0Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. \u00a0Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.”<\/p>\n
Eleanor Roosevelt, 1958<\/p>\n
