Demme Durrett, 15, said she decided to organize the highly attended Walk for Human Rights that took place on Dec. 10 at Town Park in The Woodlands when she noticed that not many people are aware they were given 30 basic human rights when the United Nations voted on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on that day in 1948.
