The Human Rights section includes uncommonly discussed African American figures who became advocates of change for the Black community, during a time when racial disparity was rampant in American society. They spoke for those who could speak for themselves and helped to pave the way for global change. Figures like Dr. Martin Luther King, Frederick Douglass and Rosa Parks have become the face of advocacy for African Americans, however this section highlights that they were inspired by figures who came before them. Though these figures are rarely mentioned or talked about in an academic setting, they have heavily contributed to the dismantling of racial segregation in American society, and they played a major role in helping to shape the world that we live in today. Each figure has a page that solely discusses their historical background, along with a link that will take users directly to a study set that is based on the information provided on the page.
