Human & Civil Rights

Human rights include subtopics like discrimination, hate crimes, and poverty. All of the graphs below are from the website USA Facts and show changes over time related to human and civil rights.

To view a larger version of a graph, click on it and follow the link to the USA Facts website. You may have to scroll down the page on the website to find the graph, but the title will help you locate it.

Your group's assignment is to select 3-4 graphs that you think illustrate the most important changes in human rights that have occurred over the last 10-20 years. You will present these graphs in a Google Slide presentation and explain why your group chose them. Remember to write your explanation under speaker notes.
