Abstract
This chapter documents the Civil Rights Congress and its strategy of legal antifascism. Deploying the United Nations’ definition of genocide, extensive legal organizing, a Marxist orientation to law and racial capitalism, the Congress between 1946 and 1956 enumerated the American dual state as the purveyor of genocide against Black (and other) oppressed domestic groups. The Congress also faced stiff Cold War legal maneuverings by the state which put its own work in constant jeopardy and made Congress lawyers “anti-nation” enemies susceptible to the most egregious dual state practices they sought to challenge.
