Human Rights: A Case in America
The modern conception of human rights developed in the aftermath of the Second World War, in part as a response to the Holocaust, culminating in its adoption by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948.
However, while the phrase "human rights" is relatively modern, the intellectual foundations of the modern concept can be traced through the history of philosophy and the concepts of natural law rights and liberties as far back as the city states if Classical Greece and the development of Roman Law.
The true forerunner of human rights discourse was the enlightenment concept of natural rights developed by figures such as John Locke and Immanuel Kant and through the political realm in the United States Bill of Rights and Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.
Let's review a case of human rights in America.
Three decades after Martin Luther King, Jr. was gunned down on a motel balcony in Memphis, Tennessee, he is still regarded mainly as the black leader of a movement for black equality.
For all King did to free blacks from the yoke of segregation, whites may owe him the greatest debt, for liberating them from the burden of America's centuries-old hypocrisy about race.
It is only because of King and the movement that he led that the U.S. can claim to be the leader of the 'free world' without inviting smirks of disdain and disbelief
Had he and the blacks and whites who marched beside him failed, vast regions of the U.S. would have remained morally indistinguishable form South Africa under apartheid, with terrible consequences for America's standing among the nations of the world.
Ever after the Supreme Court struck down school segregation in 1954, what the world now calls human-rights offenses were both law and custom in much of America.
