D.C. Youth Document the Human Rights City

By humanrightsathome

In summer 2016, the Washington, D.C. Youth Ambassadors Summer Program, in partnership with the American Friends Service Committee and the DC Humanities Council, created a remarkable series of videos and photo-essays investigating the status of human rights in the nation’s first human rights city, Washington, D.C.  These vivid videos are valuable in their own right, are models for similar projects elsewhere, and may be useful jumping off points for class discussions.  They deserve a wider viewership.  Here are links to several of the videos:  An Introduction to the HR ProjectHuman Rights in a Human Rights City: Tell us our RightsHuman Rights in an Unrecognizable Human Rights City.  More are posted on Youtube.
