The Humanitarium, in partnership with the Central Kentucky Council on Peace & Justice and the Lexington Fayette Urban County Human Rights Commission, is beginning the process of making Lexington, Kentucky a “Human Rights City”.

In accordance with Eleanor Roosevelt’s and the United Nations 1948 Declaration of Human Rights (see http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/),  a number of  American cities have so far become “Human rights Cities”: Washington DC, Chapel Hill/Carroboro, NC, Eugene, OR, Pittsburgh, PA, and, at least ceremonially. Boston, MA.
