The concept of Human Rights is one that is difficult to put into words. Simply put, the idea of human rights vary from culture to culture, therefore, the idea that human rights can be actualized for each person is impossible. The way people of certain races are treated in the U.S. differs from way that they may be treated in an area such as France as stated by Josephine Baker in her “Speech at the March on Washington”. Religious intolerance is also very relevant in many places, as seen in Elie Wiesels Night. Each country has unique cultural and societal normalities reguarding Human Rights, making it impossible for every person to have every one of the Human Rights.…

Several Non- governmental organizations dedicate their time and energy to maintaining a close watch over the world to report on any and all violations of human rights.

As a consequence of living in a homogeneous area for my entire life, I crave change. My intrigue for the city of New Orleans began with The Princess and the Frog, the Disney movie from which the previous lyrics originate from.

The diverse people, unique food, extravagant festivals, and rambunctious rhythms transformed my outlook on societal divisions. The intermingling of cultures was a foreign concept to me, I was surprised to find a community unionizing solely for the purpose of supporting a city. However, from that moment I desired a change in atmosphere, one that possessed these newfound qualities. This was then compounded with learning about the birth of jazz in my 8th grade music class. Reminiscing on the lesson, I remember jazz staples such as Buddy Bolden, Louis Armstrong, and King…
