Guy Gillette will be remembered for his vigorous and early support of the United Nations. In 1943. he introduced a resolution supporting the principles of the Atlantic Charter and recommending that the President negotiate a "postwar peace charter." That resolution led to his participation in the drafting of what would become the United. Nations Charter. In so many ways. he was ahead of his time. He fought racial prejudice. campaigned for election reform. and was a leader in efforts to create a War Refugee Board. He was particularly concerned about the plight of the European Jewish community after the war. Like few others.
