Activists, Student Research

3 activists;

1) Keith Mann – Keith Mann was an animal rights activist that ended up helping spread the awareness of animal use and helped remove animal farms that were using animals in a negative way.

2) Ronald McCallum – The first totally blind person to be appointed to a full professorship in any subject at any university in Australia or New Zealand. He chairs the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Geneva.

3) Barbara Brooks Gittings – A prominent American activist for gay equality. She helped push for the APA to remove homosexuality as a mental illness. She brought attention to the ban on employment of gay people by the largest employer in the US at that time, the US government.

5 Causes of Activism;

1) Human and civil rights activism.
2) Women’s Rights.
3) Environment.
4) Animal Rights.
5) LGBT Rights.

These interest me because there is always something someone can do to help and get involved in these causes.
