March 16th marked the 57th anniversary of the unspeakable My Lai Massacre perpetrated by the United States Army during the Vietnam War. This tragedy saw over 500 civilians including 200 children slaughtered in the most barbaric way. Make no mistake, atrocities in the name of US imperialism like this are not uncommon, this massacre was only the first documented on camera for the American public to see. It galvanized the anti-War movement in the 60s.

On December 17, 1951, black communist heroes William L. Patterson and Paul Robeson submitted a petition to the United Nations. This petition put out by the Civil Rights Congress called attention to the over 10,000 lynchings of black Americans (likely much more that went unreported) committed since the abolition of slavery in 1865. Further, "We Charge Genocide" highlights the inactivity of the US government to deal with these lynchings.
