One Big Thing: The 72nd Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Today marks the 72nd anniversary of the passage of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) by the United Nations. The UDHR outlines the rights and protections that all humans should have, regardless of their location, age, sex, religion, and race.
