Richard Pierre Claude epitomized the scholar/activist. As a student at Florida State in 1960, he sat down with friends at a lunch counter in Tallahassee in violation of municipal law. He had a distinguished career at the University of Maryland. One of his proudest achievements was the founding of the Human Rights Quarterly , which he edited for four years. The impetus for founding HRQ was that the human rights field was dominated by lawyers, and while a number of social scientists were interested in doing scholarly work on human rights, the traditional journals were not receptive to this subject matter. Claude's vision for HRQ may be evidenced by the results from Project Muse, an electronic website administered by Johns Hopkins University Press. Of the 436 journals on Project Muse, Human Rights Quarterly ranked third in terms of downloads of articles in 2010, with 207,440
