2023 marks the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights – proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on Dec. 10, 1948 – which states: “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.” Available in more than 500 languages, it remains the most translated document in the world.

Each December, the quests for civil rights and human rights intersect in Memphis – home of the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Hotel (where Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in 1968).

Take pause during Universal Human Rights Month to learn more about the civil rights movement – a tumultuous and inspiring period of change in America – that continues to shape equality and freedom across the country and around the globe.

Together, King’s 60-year-old dream – “that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed…’that all men are created equal’” – can be realized.
