Today’s #CalendarKeepers for the #CountdownTo250 are the past and present members of the Lexington Human Rights Committee (LHRC), recognized on International Human Rights Day. This day, observed globally on December 10, commemorates the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948—a landmark document affirming the inalienable rights of every individual.
The LHRC embodies these principles here in Lexington, working to promote equity, inclusion, and respect for human dignity in our community. Through educational programs, advocacy efforts, and events, they work to cultivate awareness of human rights issues in Lexington and fostered dialogue that uplifts all voices.
As we honor this vital committee, we also celebrate Lexington’s commitment to justice and equality for all its residents, employees, and visitors. Let’s join together in amplifying the message of International Human Rights Day: freedom, equality, and dignity for every person, everywhere. #Lex250 #HumanRightsDay #EquityAndInclusion #CommunityBuilding
