As World War Ii Drew To A Close And The World Awakened To The Horrors Wrought By White Supremacists In Nazi Germany, The Naacp And Africanamerican Leaders Sensed An Opportunity To Launch An Offensive Against The Conditions Of Segregation And Inequality In The United States. The 'Prize' They Sought Was Not Civil Rights, But Human Rights. Only The Human Rights Lexicon, Shaped By The Holocaust And Articulated By The United Nations, Contained The Language And The Moral Power To Address Not Only The Political And Legal Inequality But Also The Education, Health Care, Housing, And Employment Needs That Haunted The Black Community. The Naacp Understood This And Wielded Its Influence And Resources To Take Its Human Rights Agenda Before The United Nations. But The Onset Of The Cold War And Rising Anticommunism Allowed Powerful Southerners To Cast Those Rights As Sovietinspired And A Threat To The American 'Ways Of Life.' Enemies And Friends Excoriated The Movement, And The Naacp Retreated To A Narrow Civil Rights Agenda That Was Easier To Maintain Politically. Thus The Civil Rights Movement Was Launched With Neither The Language Nor The Mission It Needed To Truly Achieve Black Equality.
