Joe Abruscato and I wrote a series of books in the 1970s that focused on humanistic education and psychology. The books explored how our species can learn from each other, foster the right of all citizens to be free and develop their lives in a community of humanistic values. The series included these books: Loving & Beyond: Science Teaching for the Humanistic Classroom (1976), The Whole Cosmos Catalogue of Science Activities for People of All Ages (1977), and The Earthpeople Activity Book (1978). In this post I want to share what we wrote about human rights, and how it has been a struggle throughout our existence as a species.
