Blacklist: The Hollywood Red Scare

Event Description: 

In October 1947, the House Un-American Activities Committee called on Hollywood figures to testify about allegations of Communist propaganda in American films. Although the committee never found evidence of this, the film industry responded by becoming the first mass employer to adopt a blacklist against employees whose political beliefs ran counter to prevailing ideals.

Making its West Coast debut at the Skirball Cultural Center with newly added artifacts, Blacklist: The Hollywood Red Scare, on view through September 3, shines a spotlight on the proceedings, investigations, motives, and choices of those caught in the crosshairs—including the many Jewish creatives and executives who suffered under and enforced the blacklist.

The result is an emotionally complex and compelling exhibition that demonstrates how the politics of Hollywood can shape the entire country.

Join the conversation with our speaker:

Cate Thurston is the coordinating curator of Blacklist: The Hollywood Red Scare.

07.28.23 program: The Face of Interfaith Chaplaincy 
_____________________________________________

PLEASE SUPPORT ICUJP'S FERVENT CALL THAT RELIGIOUS COMMUNITIES MUST STOP BLESSING WAR AND VIOLENCE BY MAKING A GENEROUS DONATION

Since 2001, Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace has been advocating for a more peaceful and inclusive world, often in the face of constant war, violence, disinformation and cynicism. With a small part-time staff and lots of volunteers, your donations help us meet our budget and expand our reach.

So far this year alone we have presented a series of exceptional Friday Forums exploring:

• Susan Stouffer from the Peace Center on why and how do we teach peace;
• Richard Zaldivar of The Wall Las Memorias on building the nation's only AIDS monument and establishing a premier health prevention organization in Los Angeles; 
• Anthony Manousos of Making Housing and Community Happen on dispelling myths about affordable housing and homelessness;
• Elizabeth Gonzalez of Public Counsel’s Consumer Rights and Economic Justice Project;
• Mark Gale and Richard Bunce of the National Alliance on Mental Illness on how the justice system fails people struggling with mental illness;
• A performance of Dave Brubeck's The Gates of Justice with Rev. Dr. Ken Walden of Holman UMC, and Mark Kligman and Jeff Janeczko of the Milken Archive of Jewish Music at UCLA:
• Dean Wallraff on his book Earthling - Climate Ethics; 
• Greg Palast on recent and ongoing attempts to disenfranchise voters; 
• Taher Herzallah of American Muslims for Palestine; 
• Denise Duffield of Physicians for Social Responsibility on Local Organizing to Prevent Nuclear War;

We know that you are asked to support a wide array of worthy organizations.  All we ask is that you include ICUJP among them with as generous a contribution as you can afford. 

We are especially grateful to whose who can make a sustaining monthly donation of $5, $10, $25, $50, or $100. If you're able to give an annual contribution of $250, $500, or $1,000, it would allow us to mount more events and conferences throughout the year.  If you belong to a congregation or organization, please explore whether they can make a donation or grant.
