Our Purpose

The purpose of the Wisconsin State Human Relations Association is to support and promote the development of educational programs in the state of Wisconsin which recognize and value human diversity. The Association seeks to promote the concept of cultural pluralism in our schools and in our society, and to facilitate change in educational institutions in order to foster respect for the rights of human beings, human dignity and the promotion of human rights. 

History

The Wisconsin State Human Relations Association was established in 1981 by educators in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary institutions. With the assistance of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, the Association has promoted the concept of multicultural education through conferences, workshops, a newsletter, and participation in state and national forums on teacher education and cultural diversity.
