What are you doing today to mark Human Rights Day? If you haven't before, I would recommend reading the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations on Dec. 10, 1948. The focus of the day this year is a beautiful one: non-discrimination. The UN site has suggestions on how to get involved (I love the idea of a community or school or workplace declaring that it is a "discrimination-free" zone!).For more reading:
