Eyes off the Prize : The United Nations and the African American Struggle for Human Rights, 1944–1955

Omtale

This book was first published in 2003. In the aftermath of World War II and the Holocaust, African American leaders went before the United Nations to fight against the conditions of segregation and inequality in the United States. The 'prize' they sought was human rights - including the right to education, health care, housing, and employment.
