A diverse group of advocates, educators and activists will convene at the University of Dayton’s Human Rights Center Nov. 2-4 for its biennial Social Practice of Human Rights Conference — nearly 75 years after the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948.
This year’s conference will focus on the rights and issues affecting Africa and people of African descent both locally and globally. According to a recent report from the United Nations, approximately 200 million people in the Americas identify as African or of African descent, more than 50,000 of whom live in the Dayton area.
On Cincinnati Edition, we examine the issues impacting people of the African diaspora at home and abroad, and the center’s continued efforts to make Dayton a human rights city.

..."Conference sessions include exploring the complexity of a world of 10 billion people, models for inclusive development prioritizing justice and equity, a clean energy future with access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all, and the impact of development projects in Africa, among others.
"This unique convening of stakeholders creates space for the social practice of human rights; which centers the approaches of diverse communities, including activism, organizing, communications, artistic expressions and reflective conversations," Hudson added."
