From the Ashbrook Center website:

"To reflect on the life of Frederick Douglass is to be reminded of the famous self-description attributed to his great contemporary, Mark Twain: 'I am not an American; I am the American.' A classic self-made man, Douglass, like his country, rose from a low beginning to a great height; he gained freedom by his own virtue and against great odds in a revolutionary struggle; and he matured into an internationally renowned apostle of universal liberty. In this course, we consider Douglass' telling of his own story, taking as primary texts his three autobiographies: Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass (1845), My Bondage and My Freedom (1855), and Life and Times of Frederick Douglass (1881; 1892). We will find in these texts not only the annals of an unforgettable life but also Douglass' reflections on enduring issues in American political thought such as the nature and specific evil of slavery, the nature and grounds of human rights and freedom, and the meaning and mission of the American Republic."

From the Facing History and Ourselves website:

"Please join Facing History and Ourselves in Washington, DC for a one-day workshop on Eleanor Roosevelt and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, with Facing History staff and guest speaker, Dr. Allida Black, Director of the Eleanor Roosevelt Papers.

On December 10, 1948, shortly after the devastation of World War II and the horrors of the Holocaust, the newly formed United National General Assembly passed the UDHR. At the time, Eleanor Roosevelt, the chairperson of the Commission on Human Rights, the group that researched and wrote the document, said: 'Man's desire for peace lies behind this Declaration. The realization that the flagrant violation of human rights by Nazi and fascist countries sowed the seeds of the last world war has supplied the impetus for the work which brings us to the moment of achievement here today. We will examine the concept of 'universal' rights, the negotiation of values, the limits of sovereignt—as well as this document's aspiration, vision and the role of education in human rights."
