Declaration of Human Rights -- not just a document

Greetings,

In the context of recent events from Syria to NH, human rights became a topic of conversation at a recent meeting of the Peace and Social Justice Studies Council at PSU.  We know that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is not merely a document -- it is a living, breathing, sound-making action to reify the possibilities that we have in the world for lifting the most desperate conditions to a level where they are, even minimally, acceptable. 

To that end, we were reminded of a video that animates the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and we are sharing it with you, from its source at Vimeo:  Animated Declaration of Human Rights , with congratulations to Seth Brau, who made it.
