In this polarized political environment, we must not lose sight of the humanity of the people around us. Dialogue creates opportunities to reach across differences and to engage with and understand one another, without losing the integrity of our work for equity and justice.
This issue explores why dialogue is crucial for a thriving democracy, addresses critical issues facing our communities in the South and our nation, and encourages us to reach across our differences for the common good.

The historian-activist Howard Zinn was fond of saying, “If you don’t know history it is as if you were born yesterday. And if you were born yesterday, anybody up there in a position of power can tell you anything, and you have no way of checking up on it.”
There is nothing in the world today more in need of an accurate historical account than the violence in Palestine-Israel — or more infected with obfuscation. Many people’s historical reckoning seems to go back no further than October 7, 2023. Even those more committed to understanding the present in terms of the past often reach back only to the Six Day War and occupation in 1967 or the UN partition of Palestine in 1947 and the 1948 War for Independence — for Israelis — or the Nakba, the Catastrophe — for Palestinians. Or they may simply say: It began with the Holocaust.

This website promotes human rights education at the local, national and international levels. Set up in 2018, to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and to contribute to the goals of the World Programme for Human Rights Education, the website was developed by the Soka Gakkai International (SGI), HRE 2020, the NGO Working Group on Human Rights Education and Learning, and the Platform for Human Rights Education and Training with thanks to Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
It is time to arm ourselves with human rights education that underscores we are indeed born equal in rights and in dignity, as we strive to fulfill a shared commitment to promote human rights for all.
