After attending inner-city public schools in New York City, Daniels received a full scholarship to Dartmouth College where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1985. He later received a Public Interest Law Scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania Law School, where he obtained both his law degree and a Master’s in Public Administration. He was subsequently awarded a doctoral fellowship in American Politics by Brandeis University.Dr. Daniels successfully launched an online video portal in partnership with Sequoia Capital, the lead backer of YouTube and Google. A major Templeton Foundation grant supported the founding of Good of All, an international public education movement dedicated to promoting universal human rights in the Digital Age. Building from an initial base in South Korea and London, Good of All has launched academic centers on 3 continents and has reached over 43 million people online using a pioneering edutainment methodology developed with the founder of Disney Interactive.Dr. Daniels is also the creator Universalrights.com, a YouTube channel dedicated to promoting universal rights through entertainment content created by students at Good of All’s global network of academic centers. A study by the University of Nottingham funded by the British government affirmed the effectiveness of Dr. Daniels’ methodology, which has subsequently been endorsed by a number of national security experts, including two former Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs, the former Commander of NATO, the Attorney General of the Great Britain & Wales, and leading scholars.Dr. Daniels is the author of Human Liberty 2.0 (Simon & Schuster), which showcases the inspiring stories of teens and adults channeling the power of digital social media to advance the cause of universal rights in our world. Dr. Daniels’s pioneering work on the application of the universal rights principles at the core of Dr. King's work to the forces of hatred, division, and violence have led to the creation of K-12 curricula published by McGraw Hill Education and Share the Dream curricula published by Harper Collins that have recruited support from an array of human and civil rights experts, from Ambassador Andrew Young, to the Mayor of Atlanta, to Ebenezer Baptist Church, to leading news media, sports, and entertainment personalities.
