From Linda Wolfson:

Michiana to commemorate the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
December 6 Celebration planned for 60th Anniversary

A coalition of area organizations and individuals are planning a party
in honor the 60th Anniversary of the signing of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The UDHR was passed unanimously by
the United Nations' General Assembly in the wake of the horrors of
WWII. This visionary document includes 30 Articles that cover civil,
political, social, economic, and cultural rights for all human beings.

The public is invited to join us at the UAW Local #5 Hall (located at
1426 S. Main St. in South Bend) on Saturday December 6th from 2 to 5pm.
At the party there will be live music, short theater productions, as
well as speakers from the local social justice community. Birthday cake
and some other light refreshments will be served.

This is a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together to
support Human Rights!

**Student groups and community organizations are welcome to set up
informational tables. To reserve a table, please leave a message for
Rick Kring at (574) 532-2826 or (574) 234-6031.
