Description:

This film explores how the Red Scare, McCarthyism, and blacklisting intersected with the post-World War II fight by African Americans for better opportunities in radio, television, and theater. Starting in Harlem, it examines the impact of Paul Robeson and the efforts to discredit him. The film also looks at the roles of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), J. Edgar Hoover, and journalists like Ed Sullivan. It concludes with a tribute to Canada Lee. Throughout, interviews with those who lived through this period, including Dick Campbell and Fredrick O'Neal, offer firsthand accounts. During the 1940s and 1950s, anti-Communism was used as another way to uphold segregation and suppress African Americans.
