Where, after all, do human rights begin? In small places, close to home—so small
that they cannot be seen on any map of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual
person: the neighborhood…the school or college...the factory, farm or
office. 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
