Around Amherst: Human Rights Day art by eighth graders shown online
By SCOTT MERZBACH
AMHERST Poetry and visual art that eighth graders at the Amherst Regional Middle School have annually displayed in the atrium of the Jones Library to recognize Human Rights Day will be shown online this year.
As Human Rights Day is being marked by town officials with the adoption of a proclamation and the reading of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on the Town Common this week a small, in-person and socially distanced candlelight vigil was set for Thursday other activities timed to the day will be virtual.
