Rick Winston, author of the recently published "Red Scare in the Green Mountains: Vermont in the McCarthy Era 1946-1960," will be speaking at the Hudson Area Library on Thursday September 27 from 6 to 7:30pm. In the late 1940s through the early 1960s, many screenwriters, directors, and actors were victims of what became known as the “Red Scare.” This talk explores the origins of the blacklist in the formation of the Screen Writers’ Guild in 1933, Hollywood’s labor unrest in the 1930s and 40s, how the blacklist worked, and what led to its ultimate end. Wheelchair accessible. Refreshments will be served. More info at 518-828-1792 ext. 101.
