In August of 2020, Human Rights Educators USA (HRE USA) lost one of its sustaining sources of inspiration and committed leadership – Kirby Edmonds. As a founding member of HRE USA, Kirby was instrumental in its establishment, directly shaping our mission statement, organizational structure, and most importantly our values framework and the consensus-based policy for decision-making. He served as Co-Chair of HRE USA for nearly a decade. The Summer Edmonds Fellowship was founded in partnership with the Dorothy Cotton Institute (DCI) where Kirby was a Senior Fellow and Program Coordinator. DCI’s vision is a just and peaceful beloved community in which all people understand, protect and exercise full human rights. For the first time, Edmonds Fellow alumni will mentor the incoming 2024 Edmonds Summer Fellows.
