White Man's Duty This 1942 pamphlet is a discussion between publisher and anti-racist activist Nancy Cunard and writer and Pan-Africanist George Padmore about the Atlantic Charter. The Charter outlined the USA and UK’s plans for post-war “common principles”, including the right of all people to choose how they are governed. The pamphlet questions the Charter as an act of mere symbolism rather than substance, describing the gulf between promises and reality.
