The Tennessee Celebration of International Human Rights Day will
take place on December 6th
from 5-7pm in Nashville, Tennessee. The planning committee for the event is now
accepting nominations for the prestigious human rights awards.
Tennesseans will gather on December 6th
to celebrate the ratification of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
(UDHR) by the United Nations, originally signed in 1948.
“Human Rights Day gives the community a chance to acknowledge
advocates and leaders while also learning more about what human rights really
mean for all people,” says planning committee chair Rev. Brian Fesler, who also
pastors the Church of Scientology in Nashville.
The celebration centers around the three Human Rights awards:
Rising Advocate, Outstanding Service and Lifetime Achievement. Fesler says that
the committee has just opened the floor for nominations for this year’s
awardees. Prospective names can be submitted at nashvillehumanrights.org/nominations.
The event will also have a panel discussion on child trafficking
and various exhibits from human rights organizations. All information regarding
the event can be found at the website nashvillehumanrights.org, and Fesler encouraged
anyone interested to visit the website to find out how to get involved.
