HUAC

PROBLEMS WITH HUAC?

House of Unamerican Activities Committee

Established 1938.

WHAT IS HUAC?

HUAC did receive negative feedback.

They weren't very well liked because

of the way the committee was shown to

discriminate people against

their political beliefs.

They seemed to favorite

and let certain people

get away, like right-wing

extremists and Nazi supporters,

and mostly prosecute communists.

A committee that was created mainly to investigate communist activity, but also to control unacceptable actions, disloyalty, and other forms of wrong doing.

HEIGHTEN OR LESSEN FEAR?

<-- HOLLYWOOD TEN

HUAC mostly heightened

the fear during the Cold War.

It made Americans feel

distrustful & intimidated because of the

way HUAC performed its duties.

Celebrities that were called to testify for the committee, but refused because of fear of being too involved. The consequences resulted in them being "blacklisted", meaning they were run out from their places of entertainment, damaging reputations and ending careers.
