How Does The Story Freedom River Connect to Human Rights?

  I think it connects to Human Rights by showing what people did to try to tell the others what they were doing to the river, and people were so blinded by their arrogance that they ignored him and attacked him. Or that the people that lived on the river wouldn't let any outsiders in, by blocking all the entry points. And also how it showed that all those people would do anything to purify the river that they lived on.
