Eyes off the prize

Eye-opening perspective on the creation of the UN and Commission on Human Rights, focused on the NAACP and related national civil rights groups' fight to (and retreat from) address Jim Crow violence and disenfranchisement as a human rights failure, a genocide, a parallel to the plight of colonized people globally. Casts a hollowing glare at the US vs USSR manipulations of UNCHR goals to claim superiority on whatever narrow form of human rights and non-intervention wouldn't expose liability for their documented internal failures. Damning quotes of Truman and Eleanor Roosevelt on placating the Dixiecrats from any federal oversight of lynching. Ultimately the NAACP's fear of any link to communism leads them to merely seek the most American of shallow equality.
