Revisiting ‘Centesimus Annus’ and American Ideals Amid the CCP’s Human Rights Atrocities
In Spring 2023, The Catholic University of America’s Center for Human Rights hosted its first-ever Human Rights Essay Contest. The theme was tackling human rights in China. The prompt was: "Explain why Communism is an inadequate system of governance, specifically in Communist China. Cite examples of human rights abuses in China as evidence. Finally, explain why American ideals and institutions may provide a remedy for these problems China faces today." In this episode of The Barefoot Lawyer Reports, Dr. William Saunders, Director of the Center for Human Rights, interviews Brandon Showalter, whose essay, "Revisiting ‘Centesimus Annus’ and American Ideals Amid the CCP’s Human Rights Atrocities," tied for second place.

The Catholic University of America and its Center for Human Rights is honored to support the work of activist Chen Guangcheng, who is a Distinguished Fellow at the University. His is a voice that defines this generation’s fight for human rights throughout the world. Blind from a young age and a self-taught lawyer, Guangcheng has spent his life fighting for the rights of the disabled and marginalized in China. He exposed the atrocity of the Chinese Communist Party’s forced abortions, leading to his captivity. Guangcheng’s cry for justice, after enduring years of brutal torture at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party, shocked the world and opened his path for a new life of activism in the haven of the United States, after his harrowing, and miraculous, escape from house arrest.
Through the support of the Center for Human Rights, Guangcheng broadcasts his message for justice in both English and Chinese from the heart of Washington, D.C. His gripping story, a true odyssey for justice, is recounted in his memoir.
