Human Rights Heroes: How They Helped Make Our World a Better Place
In London in 1765, Granville Sharp saw a young slave, beaten close to death, and launched the campaign that ended slavery. In 1977, Azucena Villaflor created the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo to protest those "disappeared" in Argentina and helped make enforced disappearance a crime against humanity. We will tell the stories of important but little-known persons who struggled for human rights -- who they were, what they did, and how they improved our world.
