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 neighbourhood 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.
Eleanor
Roosevelt
