Background: |
|
Angela Brown is
the Human Rights
Program Advocacy
Fellow-in-Residence
for 2003. She
is a leading
student and
youth organizer
dedicated to
ending human
rights abuses
within the
United States.
Brown’s efforts
have served as a
wake-up call to
young people,
urging them to
acknowledge
their own power
to shape their
surroundings and
ultimately
change their
future. Ms.
Brown currently
serves as
executive
director of the
Youth Task Force
(YTF), an
organization she
and others
co-founded ten
years ago in
Atlanta,
Georgia, in
response to the
newly developing
environmental
justice
movement.
Currently, the
Youth Task Force
stands as one of
the oldest and
few human rights
organizations
founded and led
by youth of
color within the
United States. |
