      abstract = {The Civil Rights Congress (CRC) was established in 1946  to, among other things, "combat all forms of discrimination  against ... labor, the Negro people and the Jewish people,  and racial, political, religious, and national minorities."  The CRC arose out of the merger of three groups with ties  to the Communist Party, the International Labor Defense  (ILD), the National Negro Congress, and the National  Federation for Constitutional Liberties. CRC campaigns  helped pioneer many of the tactics that civil rights  movement activists would employ in the late 1950s and  1960s. The CRC folded in 1955 under pressure from the U.S.  Attorney General and the House Un-American Activities  Committee, which accused the organization of being  subversive.},
