The 2012 Chattanooga Truth Commission on Human Rights will be held on December 10, 2012 in recognition of International Human Rights Day.  This event will take place from 5:30 – 8pm EST at the Chattanooga Downtown Public Library.  This event is free and open to the public.

International Human Rights Day is a globally observed celebration marking the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1948. Human rights belong equally to each of us and bind us together as a global community with the same ideals and values. In honor of International Human Rights Day, several local organizations and leaders are organizing The 2012 Chattanooga Truth Commission on Human Rights.  Truth Commissions are designed to expose the truth about systemic human rights violations and injustice that powerful forces would rather keep hidden.  Truth Commissions provide a forum in which masses of poor people who are normally ignored, silenced, and made invisible can speak out and be seen and heard.
