@culturednyc Lionel Stander also used that voice to stand up for democracy during the McCarthy era. From his #NYT obituary, under questioning by #HUAC, “Mr. Stander lectured the committee on democracy and due process of law and refused to repeat under oath his former frequent denials that he had ever been a Communist.” He was blacklisted in Hollywood for 24 years. BTW, he has a great late-career role in #NewYorkNewYork. https://www.nytimes.com/1994/12/02/obituaries/lionel-stander-dies-at-86-actor-who-defied-blacklist.html?unlocked_article_code=1.fVA.2IVs.0hF7TR07nACV&smid=url-share

A quotation from Henry Commager
Who among American heroes could meet their [loyalty] tests, who would be cleared by their committees? Not Washington, who was a rebel. Not Jefferson, who wrote that all men are created equal and whose motto was “rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.” Not Garrison, who publicly burned the Constitution; or Wendell Phillips, who spoke for the underprivileged everywhere and counted himself a philosophical anarchist; not Seward of the Higher Law or Sumner of racial equality. Not Lincoln, who admonished us to have malice toward none, charity for all; or Wilson, who warned that our flag was “a flag of liberty of opinion as well as of political liberty”; or Justice Holmes, who said that our Constitution is an experiment and that while that experiment is being made “we should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe and believe to be fraught with death.”
Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Essay (1947-07), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 2, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168More about this quote: wist.info/commager-henry-steel…

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
In our country we must trust the people to hear and see both the good and the bad and to choose the good. The Un-American Activities Committee seems to me to be better for a police state than for the USA.

10/20/1947 - The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) opened public hearings into alleged Communist influence in Hollywood. To counter what they claimed were reckless attacks by HUAC, a group of motion picture industry luminaries, led by actor Humphrey Bogart and his wife, Lauren Bacall, John Huston, William Wyler, Gene Kelly and others, established the Committee for the First Amendment (CFA).

the testimony of another musician, Lewis J. Elias, from a few days later is unfuriatingly fascinating too. he's just naming names and calling half the musicians he knows secret communists.

oof, my research took me here... this is Milton Kestenbaum (1914–2004), a well known orchestral bassist & one of the sons of the Kestenbaum musician families from Przemyśl I'm looking into. here he was being interrogated by the Committee on Un-American Activities in 1956😮💨

it was axed when she appeared before the house un-american activities committee because she'd been a vocal opponent of mccarthyism & of racial segregation. 'to hell with this', she said (or, perhaps, something saltier), & she moved to paris until 1967.

June 9, 1954 - Special Counsel for the U.S. Army Joseph N. Welch confronted Senator Joseph P. McCarthy (R-Wisconsin) during hearings into alleged communist infiltration of the Army Signal Corps.
McCarthy had attacked a member of Welch's law firm, Frederick G. Fischer, among many others, as a communist. This was alleged due to Fischer’s prior membership in the National Lawyers Guild. The Guild was the nation’s first racially integrated bar association.
Welch was outraged by the attempt to destroy the reputation and career of someone of whose integrity he had no doubt: “Until this moment, senator, I think I never gauged your cruelty or recklessness . . . . Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?”
The entire hearings and this encounter were seen live on television, the first congressional committee hearings ever to be broadcast. McCarthy’s ability to make such accusations was soon greatly diminished.
In 1959 Otto Preminger cast Welch to play the judge in "Anatomy of a Murder" Starring James Stewart, Lee Remick, Ben Gazzara, George C. Scott and Arthur O'Connell.

A server banning someone for posting too much in Monsterdon feels like a very Un-Mastodon thing to do and should be reported to some kind of 'Un-Mastodon Activities Committee' which I'm sure will be fair and just, .....they always are...../s

An excellent piece by Renee DiResta @lawfare on the history of HUAC and its resonances today.
"[under HUAC], strident inquisitions and the abuse of subpoena power lasted for decades in the lower house. I learned this after becoming fascinated by HUAC following the receipt of my first congressional subpoena, from Rep. Jim Jordan and his House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government."

I've just learned (from inerrant #Wikipedia) that Sol Kaplan, who also scored the episode "The Enemy Within," was blacklisted from Hollywood for refusing to cooperate with the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
"The Enemy Within" ALSO had a bitchin' soundtrack; it and "The Doomsday Machine" were dipped into a lot for later Star Trek incidental music.
