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, a fun skit, a short documentary film on the history of South Bend's Natatorium as well as speakers from the local social justice community. Birthday cake and some other light refreshments will be served.
Speakers include:
Scott Van de Putte (UAW #5)
Lonnie Douglas (Executive Dir. South Bend Human Rights Commission)
Paul Mishler (Professor of Labor Studies, IU-South Bend)
Joe Carbone (Jobs with Justice/St. Joe Valley Project)
Gene Knapp (Teamsters #364/Housing Authority campaign)
Kathy Liggett (Michiana Peace and Justice Coalition, WAND Network)
Charlotte Pfeiffer (former South Bend Common Councilperson, currently with IU-South Bend)
Rebecca Revalcaba (La Casa de Amistad)
Debra Stanley (Imani Unidad)
Wendell Wiebe-Powell (Goshen-area sustainability and social justice activist)
Student representatives from the University of Notre Dame and IU-South Bend
This is a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together to support Human Rights!
