By examining the development of the Southern Negro Youth Congress and the Council on African Affairs - two early civil rights organisations that have been overlooked and marginalised by the historiography of the period - Lindsey Swindall reveals how the discourse on civil rights in the southern United States also employed an internationalist, anticolonial agenda during the mid-twentieth century.
