About this Item

We Charge Genocide - ed. William Patterson, Civil Rights Congress, First Edition 1951, Inscribed by William Patterson's daughter, MaryLouise Patterson:

"William L. Patterson wasn't only a genuine champion for the liberation of his people.but for all oppressed, 'buked, and scorned' the world over - he was also a true partner and best friend to his wife, my mother and the dearest, bestest father ever! MaryLouise Patterson"

An important and ever-relevant petition that would help solidify the framework for the Civil Rights Movement, first delivered to the UN by Paul Robeson in New York and William Patterson in Paris. Suppressed from discussion at the UN by the US government and panned by US media, the document did receive wide attention globally. Beyond direct violence the document frames structural racism as genocide and remains a testament to the United State's enduring influence in shaping what constitutes genocide.
