Abstract

Negroes at U. N.'s Door

Mezerik, A. G. | December 13, 1947 issue

add to cart close window

The article focuses on the Russian proposal to investigate the Negro problem in the United States, which was rejected by a subcommittee of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. The action began in October 1947 in New York, when certain Negro citizens of the United States wrote a letter to the world telling the bloody story of race relations in this country and asked the United Nations for action. The mimeographed volume of 150 pages was prepared by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and presented to the Social and Economic Council.
