Day Years and Rights Day

year: But this year there is much to worry about as we recognize December 10, the anniversary of the day 68 years ago that the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, according to Huffington Post Canada. The United Nations this year is encouraging us all to push back against division and intolerance. We should be marking our successes, and showing the world how much we embrace and celebrate our differences rather than being afraid of them. The slogan for the 2016 Human Rights Day is We the People. It may not be deliberate, but it certainly appropriate, given the state of affairs in the United States. This sounds pretty American-oriented to me. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
