26th Annual Human Rights Day

The Minnesota Department of Human Rights presents its 26th Annual Human Rights Day conference at Saint Paul RiverCentre. The conference will feature a keynote address by author and Wayne State University Law School Dean Dr. Frank Wu. Wu is the author of Yellow: Race in America Beyond Black and White, and co-author of Race, Rights and Reparation: Law and The Japanese American Internment.

The conference theme, "Where Do We Go Form Here?" was inspired by a speech Dr. Martin Luther King delivered in Atlanta, GA in 1967. King said, "Many of the ugly pages of American history have been obscured and forgotten... America owes a debt of justice which it has only begun to pay. If it loses the will to finish or slackens in its determination, history will recall its crimes and the country that would be great will lack the most indispensable element of greatness -- justice."
