Human Rights Day is observed every year on December 10th. This is the day the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.

The UDHR is a milestone document, which proclaims the inalienable rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being-regardless of face, color, religion, s*x, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.

Día de los Mu***os (Day of the Dead), an annual celebration of life in honor of those that have passed.

The Aztec people, who are from what is today central Mexico, are believed to be the first to celebrate the Day of the Dead by using skulls to honor their dead over 3,000 years ago. Skull symbology has remained an essential element of the day’s celebrations, often seen in the form of colorful calaveras de azúcar (sugar skulls) or paper maché calaveras (skulls) laid on altars in family homes to welcome the spirits of the departed. In today's Doodle artwork, a family member drops marigold petals for loved ones to follow home.

Although many common themes connect Mexican communities celebrating the Day of the Dead, each region across the nation observes the holiday with a unique spin, as cultural traditions continue to evolve every year.

Thank you to everyone who sent in photos of their departed loved ones for our Law Library ofrenda!

HLSA general meeting: Monday, November 1 @ 12:00 pm. Join us for an immigration update with our guest speaker Ms. Carolina Rivera of Catholic Charities.
