A Racial Program for the Twentieth Century (occasionally A Radical Program for the Twentieth Century) is an anti-Semitic hoax promoted by Eustace Mullins. It is often cited as "proof" of a Jewish and/or Communist plot against white Americans, in much the same way as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a false document, is used as "proof" of a Jewish global domination conspiracy.
Allegedly written in 1912 by Israel Cohen, a British Jewish Communist, it first gained public notoriety on June 7, 1957, during debate on the Civil Rights Act of 1957, when Rep. Thomas Abernethy of Mississippi read a reputed quotation from it into the Congressional Record:
