"I joined the HGPS Board out of a deep sense of commitment to the struggle against exploitation, oppression, genocide , and other crimes against humanity perpertrated by one group or class against another. By exposing and combating such cruelty we may be better able to strive toward a more human, egalitarian, and peaceful community and society."
