An Appeal for Human Rights

Audio recorded by Dr. Jeanne Law Bohannon

Written by Roslyn Pope in March 1960, this historical document was signed by all the student government presidents from Atlanta University schools. Julian Bond typed the document as Roslyn Pope dictated it to him in Howard Zinn's dining room. An Appeal for Human Rights served as the manifesto for the Atlanta Student Movement and still continues to be an inspiration for human rights activism world-wide.
