@petergleick It's a nice sentiment, but it's not exactly accurate, is it? Rights commonly have to be balanced against each other, and in the US, the 14th amendment led to a string of rights being restricted or rescinded to uphold the equal rights of the suppressed classes. The most obvious example being the right to free expression being restricted by anti-discrimination laws.

(Note, I'm not arguing any of that is a bad thing, just that the framing of the OP's photo isn't accurate, especially as a matter of law.)
