Over the river, across Friendship Bridge from Boise State University, lies the Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial, founded and built by the Wassmuth Center for Human Rights. In celebration of this landmark, and in a spirt of community and neighborhood, the Wassmuth Center is proud to launch Upstander Nation in collaboration with Boise State’s Marilyn Schuler Human Rights Initiative.
Television KIVI Idaho News 6 covered the initiative and comments from the Wassmuth Center for Human Right’s Director Christina Bruce-Bennion’s thoughts on recent acts of hate in the state and the message “Idaho is too great for hate.” The video interview made it to KIVI’s front page.
The School of Public Service and Marilyn Schuler Human Rights Initiative are now searching for 10 students who will help bring awareness to upstanding acts in the community as Boise State University Upstander Nation Ambassadors.
