This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

It worked as intended. The constant threat of being blacklisted, losing employment, facing criminal charges and enduring relentless harassment caused the group’s ambitious plans to fall apart. Under immense pressure, the Sojourners for Truth and Justice were forced to dissolve by late 1952. /end

Louise Thompson Patterson, 1960. Patterson was the operational backbone, executive organizer and administrative engine of the Sojourners for Truth and Justice. After the initial Washington mobilization, the collective voted to establish a permanent national framework, appointing Patterson as the Executive Secretary. She took on the task of transforming a three-day protest into a sustained national movement. She traveled extensively to raise money and establish local Sojourners chapters. Because she was the administrative nerve center of the organization, the Department of Justice and the FBI subjected her to relentless surveillance. They eventually seized her passport to cut off her ability to connect with international leftist and anti-colonial organizations. However, Patterson never renounced her leftist commitments. She carried the same organizing blueprint into the 1970s, where she served as a leader in the successful international movement to Free Angela Davis.

The FBI viewed the Sojourners for Truth and Justice as a national security threat because they combined Black nationalism, civil rights and communist ideology. The Bureau compiled a nearly 500-page file on the group and used surveillance and intimidation tactics to crush their operations. /9

FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover (left) and Attorney General J. Howard McGrath confer on the government’s roundup of Communist party officials in Washington, 1951. An informant notified the FBI during the first meetings of the Sojourners for Truth and Justice, triggering the creation of their official file. Informants attended their strategy meetings, monitored travel plans and identified the core leaders. During their initial D.C. mobilization, special agents in dark suits followed the women everywhere they went. Agents physically blocked the women from entering pre-arranged meeting spaces. To justify their surveillance and alienate the group from mainstream civil rights organizations, the FBI manufactured alarming narratives about the women. By painting them as violent insurrectionists, the FBI successfully stoked public fear and scared away moderate allies.

A major effort was the defense of Rosa Lee Ingram, a Black mother sentenced to death after defending herself against a white attacker. They framed Ingram’s imprisonment not just as a miscarriage of justice, but as state-sanctioned violence against the bodily autonomy and safety of Black women. /8

Rosa Lee Ingram (left) and her teenage sons in jail. In 1947, Rosa Lee Ingram, a widowed Black sharecropper in Georgia, and her teenage sons were sentenced to death for killing an armed white sharecropper who had assaulted her. The immediate, explosive backlash from civil rights organizations, legal defense funds and grassroots coalitions, including the Sojourners for Truth and Justice, forced the trial judge to commute their death sentences to life imprisonment a few months later. The family spent more than a decade in prison, during which time activists persistently campaigned for their release and continuously applied pressure on the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles. On Aug. 26, 1959, Rosa Lee, Wallace and Sammie Lee were finally granted parole and freed. Rosa Lee relocated to Atlanta, where she lived until her death on Aug. 5, 1980, at age 78.

The group formulated an early form of Black left feminism, blending anti-racist, anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist perspectives. They sought to expose state complicity and violence directed against Black Americans, pointing out the hypocrisy of the government promoting “democracy” abroad. /7

Shirley Graham Du Bois. Du Bois was the chief intellectual strategist and public voice of the Sojourners for Truth and Justice. While history frequently frames her through her marriage to W.E.B. Du Bois, she was a radical force in her own right, working as an accomplished opera composer, playwright and political theorist long before 1951. Alongside Louise Thompson Patterson, she conceptualized the organization as a radical defense front. She recognized that the government wasn’t just attacking an individual. It was attempting to decapitate Black radical leadership during the Red Scare. She leveraged her extensive network to bring together the 14 founders, framing her husband’s defense not as a private grievance, but as a collective fight for the survival of Black intellectual freedom. Because of her uncompromising leadership, Graham Du Bois was monitored by the FBI and blacklisted.

The founders only gave themselves two weeks to pull off the mobilization and were surprised when 132 women managed to travel to Washington, D.C., on such short notice. Fueled by the momentum, they formally established a permanent organization and immediately scaled up their efforts. /6

On days 2 and 3, the women marched to and held meetings with officials at the Department of Justice, the War Department and the Pentagon to demand the protection of Black lives. When President Harry S. Truman refused to meet with them, they staged a silent vigil on the White House lawn. /5

Charlotta Bass speaks at the inaugural meeting of the Sojourners for Truth and Justice, Sept. 29, 1951. As a veteran journalist, publisher of the California Eagle and a fierce civil rights leader, Bass was known for delivering speeches that targeted state-sanctioned violence and connected local struggles to global movements. She emphasized the vulnerability of Black women under the American legal system, using her platform to proclaim that Black women could no longer afford to play a secondary or quiet role in politics. She argued that because Black women suffered the brunt of economic exploitation and state violence, they had to be at the vanguard of the civil rights struggle. Bass refused to moderate her radical, anti-imperialist views for mainstream appeal. Her address established an early foundation for Black left feminism, intertwining the dismantling of racism, sexism and war.

When the women arrived in the capital, they gathered for an inaugural convention in which young poet and playwright Lorraine Hansberry read the group’s indictment of racial capitalism and state violence. She said, “We cannot … sit by and watch our lives destroyed by an unreasoning hate.” /4

Lorraine Hansberry. Years before she achieved global acclaim for her 1959 masterpiece A Raisin in the Sun, a 21-year-old Hansberry was immersed in radical, left-wing journalism and organizing. At the inaugural convention for the Sojourners for Truth and Justice, she took the stage to read the group’s proclamation to the 132 assembled women. Working as a writer and editor for Paul Robeson’s progressive newspaper, Freedom, Hansberry subsequently published a groundbreaking report titled “Women Voice Demands in Capital Sojourn.” This piece documented the group’s actions for the public, bypassing the heavily censored mainstream media of the McCarthy era. Organizing with the Sojourners shaped Hansberry’s early grasp of “the woman question,” helping her weave early intersectional feminist and anti-colonial themes into her later literary works.

The effort was spurred by the indictment of 83-year-old W.E.B. Du Bois on charges of being an “unregistered foreign agent” due to his peace activism and anti-nuclear stance. Black women leaders were alarmed by the government’s weaponization of the Red Scare to silence civil rights leaders. /3
