As an important scholar in the study of multicultural education in the United States, Grant’s multicultural education theory takes liberating the oppressed ethnic groups as the premise, recognizing and accepting the diversity of culture as the basis, and taking practicality and adaptability as the main characteristics, with special emphasis on national awareness, social justice and human rights issues. This paper studies human rights issues under the background of his multicultural education theory, and further discusses the impact of the civil rights movement triggered by the human rights issues of American minorities on American society, and finally proposes that the development of education is an important way to solve human rights issues. The education of pluralistic social justice is to teach for freedom, and it is a social change promoted by promoting the realization of human basic rights.
