Late at night in July 2018, I wrote my pledge to humanity.
I knew I wanted to sew a multi-color striped flag and hand stitch the words in the stripes.
I searched for (public domain) photos of human rights activists to be the stars on the flag and added faces of friends, their family members, as well as people I didn't know to reflect a world of diversity and show that we can all nurture inclusiveness through friendships and kindness.
My Flag Of Humanity has beens exhibited in California Bay Area galleries and libraries.

FACES
The faces are human rights activists, friends and members of their family, and people I don't know
to show that we can all nurture inclusiveness through friendships and kindness.

"Where, after all, do universal human rights begin?
In small places, close to home --
so close and so small that they cannot be seen
on any maps of the world.
[...] Unless these rights have meaning there,
they have little meaning anywhere.
Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home,
we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world."

--- Eleanor Roosevelt
Chairperson of the drafting committee
of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
