CGE Experts Explored Racial Injustice in the U.S. from a Human Rights Perspective

On September 17, the Center for Global Engagement hosted the first "Human Rights at Home," a three-part Global Perspective Series webinar.

More than 100 attendees heard experts discuss why the United States has taken a divergent route on human rights and how embracing the international human rights system could make a critical impact in addressing system racism and differential access to education and health care.
