I googled 'Human Dignity' and found this:

(aired on CBS daytime television in 1951)

"[dramatic organ music] "Love of Life, the exciting story of Vanessa Dale and her courageous struggle for human dignity"

Here is Frost (a cool name, BTW) on what he means (from the article) -

The area of human dignity touches every aspect of our ethical lives,” said Frost. “As Christians, we understand that it informs our view of human life, not as we determine, but as God has established in creation by making humanity in the imago Dei. I am excited about lending my expertise in the area of human dignity by serving as a senior fellow with the ERLC, because this work is an opportunity to present ways for Baptists to think through how human dignity, based on the imago Dei, informs our ethics, social issues, and views of our shared public life in a way that seeks the glory of God and the good of our neighbors.”
