The poem "I Too" by Langston Hughes discusses how America is still a segregated society and African-Americans are still treated poorly. He uses the metaphor of being sent to the kitchen to eat when company comes to symbolize how African-Americans are still not seen as equal with whites. All of the information discussed in this poem relates to how throughout American history (up until this time) African-Americans are not seen as equal citizens. This was especially true during the era of slavery, as slaves had no legal rights.
In the poem "I Too" his words are not intended too be harsh or critical. Rather, he is pointing out how unfair American society is for African-Americans.
Genocide is a deliberate, co-ordinated plan to destroy a group of people, usually members of a certain national, ethnic or religious group. The Holocaust was a genocide.
The term “genocide” did not exist prior to 1944, but examples of its occurrence, such as the Armenian Genocide of 1915, pre-date this.
The ‘Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide’ was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 9 December 1948, as result of the events of the Holocaust. The Convention came into force on 12 January 1951.
Article 2 states that genocide means “any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”.
