Blacklist, The Hollywood Red Scare about:
Explore the history and impact of the Hollywood Red Scare and its contemporary implications for civil liberties, propaganda, and shifting definitions of American patriotism.

The entertainment industry’s blacklist during the early years of the Cold War — an era in Hollywood marked by the public investigations of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), private rifts, political factions, media bias and antisemitism — gets thoughtful treatment at the Skirball Cultural Center in a new exhibit, open now through Sept. 3. Blacklist: The Hollywood Red Scare opens with a wall covered in copies of The Hollywood Reporter, as then-publisher William R. Wilkerson’s entertainment trade infamously not only covered the conflict at the time but also helped instigate it by publishing names of purported Communist sympathizers.
