Human rights are basic rights which many societies believe that all people should have. Originally the human rights in Africa have concentrated on the legal and philosophical. The professor of law at the University of Dar es Salaam moves the debate to the social and political planes. And human rights ideology from the position of the working people in Africa is decided again by him. He defines the approach as avoiding the pitfalls of the liberal perspective as being absolutist in viewing human rights as a central question and the rights struggle as the backbone of democratic struggles. In human rights movement people treated like the poor or slave even they treated as animal too. People put black people in bunker or a warehouse and gave hard work. When they finished work they can go back to bunker which they live but their work was so hard and working time was too long. Their living condition was really bad. They drank dirty water and there were no comfortable place to sleep. This mean black people were exposed for getting illness.

And because they ignored these things the black wanted them back which made them resolt to stay against the causians.which made lots of injured or dead peole. Primary Source Assessment ** Egg ALAN L.
