Humanity 101®
"Large segments of … society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1967)
Home / About Humanity 101®
What is Humanity 101?
Humanity 101 responds to the question: “Are we losing our humanity?” Project Humanities raised this question in September 2012 in an op-ed piece in local Valley newspapers and in USA Today, in a National Press Club forum, as part of a local community film series, and as part of multiple public lectures to diverse groups across the Valley and beyond. An overwhelming desire to respond to this question with concrete actions continues to emerge. Humanity 101 addresses how "human progress” impacts equality, equity, and social justice in America.
Humanity 101 provides solutions to humanity’s most pressing challenges. To address such challenges, we take the temperatures of our communities and constituent groups, and then critically engage in “talking, listening, and connecting.”
Harvard President Drew Gilpin Faust contends that “Humans need meaning, understanding, and perspective as well as jobs.” Humanity 101 is thereby a growing multidisciplinary and multimodal toolbox of specific strategies and programs, hands-on activities, blogged interactions, workshops, symposia, PSAs and endorsements, an eBook, a theme song, Hacks for Humanity hackathons for the social good, checklists and curricular guides, a comprehensive website, and print, visual, and virtual resources that add perspective and meaning to daily experiences.
Humanity 101 can be customized for various communities—business, medical, educational, faith-based, social, and scientific. The Toolbox is portable and adaptable for diverse audiences and purposes to consciously, routinely, and deliberately engage each individual and group.
Humanity 101 Pledge
The Humanity 101 pledge acknowledges an intentional advocacy for a better tomorrow by personally, professionally, and socially embracing and practicing these key principles that represent humanity at its best: compassion, empathy, forgiveness, integrity, kindness, respect, and self-reflection.
These principles are not faith-based but rather nod toward a faith in humanity. These values connect with individuals across cultures and communities and reframe conversations and thinking about an organization’s culture and its commitment to advancing diversity, inclusion, and belonging.
