During the Red Scare, some Americans were caught up the the witch hunt that was McCarthyism. Senator McCarthy held a series of hearings meant to find people who might be disloyal to the U.S. and who might be Communist or might sympathize with Communist views. The videos in this section are from a documentary about this time in American history. The real video footage from the time is valuable in helping us to understand what was going on during this time.
During class you will be asked to respond to the events depicted in the video and to reflect on what Freedom of Speech is and how far the Constitution goes to protect it.
