by This is the final 2025-2026 school year submission to The General, Herkimer College’s great student newspaper, from the Herkimer College chapter of Amnesty International.

The link that follows repeats the importance of becoming involved in the work of defending human rights. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” We are reminded of Amnesty International’s importance not only in today’s world, but additionally, the strong history of defending human rights by this 60 year-old-plus organization. https://thegeneral.herkimer.edu/amnesty-international-hc-top-ten-reasons-to-join/
