On a Special Day in History

December 10th, 2010

HAPPY UDHR DAY!

I hope everyone celebrated by wearing their lovely GLW shirt - I know I did. I wore my shirt all day at school, and I'll probably wear it some more tonight to the festival of lights in Olde Mistick Village.



"Where after all do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any map of the world. Yet 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. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world." - Eleanor Roosevelt

With Much Love,
Becca
