Description

The year's finest photographs are displayed in the latest volume of "American Photography" 27, as selected by a jury of publishing and design professionals. From over 8,000 images submitted to the annual competition, volume 27 presents 313 examples of visual excellence that exhibit photographic marksmanship and searing points of view. It includes work by many top photojournalists who bravely cover world events and who have redefined reportage, including Tim Hetherington who was killed documenting the escalating violence in Misrata, Libya in April 2011. Published in alphabetical order by photographer, "American Photography" 27 opens with a series of portfolios shot by Lynsey Addario in Afghanistan and Sierra Leone that focus on women's issues such as self-immolation and maternal mortality; and Benjamin Lowy covering the Gulf oil spill and the Taliban in a series shot by iPhone. The earthquake in Haiti is represented with work by Ron Haviv, James Nachtwey, Julie Plantner and Shaul Schwarz.

The Human Rights Pocketbook Venture

The Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), in its 2019 Global Peace Index, which ranks nation states in order of their peacefulness, ranks the United States of America in the bottom quarter of peaceful nation states.

The Human Rights Pocketbook Venture is a positive peace initiative of the Empathy Surplus Project (ESP), a UN Global Compact (UNGC) participant since 2014. ESP invites its colleagues in the UNGC, as well as civil society organizations like Rotary and Lions, to partner with its Human Rights Pocketbook Venture to distribute a personal copy of the pocketbook with every 9th grader and incoming college freshman every year.

ESP is grateful for Rotarians for Peace in Wilmington, Ohio, for being the first to distribute pocketbooks to first year students participating in the Westheimer Peace Symposium, Wilmington College, and East Clinton High School 9th graders.

First Lady of the United States of America Eleanor Roosevelt was a major contributor to the development of the ﬁnal draft of the UDHR. In 1948, she wrote,

“Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm or ofﬁce where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world."
