Ed Rampell on the 70TH ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATION OF THE HOLLYWOOD BLACKLIST - Un-American: A Reenactment of the HUAC Hearings Friday evening, October 27, 2017, is the 70th anniversary of the start of the Hollywood Ten’s testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), which marked the beginning of the Hollywood Blacklist and McCarthyism. This was one of the most unjust, repressive eras in American history, enforcing censorship and trampling on constitutional rights. This Friday evening, at the Writers Guild Theater in Beverly Hills, Blacklist survivors, relatives of persecuted artists and contemporary progressive talents including, on a schedule permitting basis, Susan Sarandon, Jamie Cromwell, Mike Farrell, and via video Ed Asner and Lee Grant, will reenact the HUAC heaings. The Writer's Guild Foundation, which is sponsoring the event, stated, "The goal of our HUAC hearings reenactment is to remind Americans about another despotic era in U.S. history when free speech rights were trampled on by HUAC and McCarthyism – so it never happens again." We'll speak with one of the organizers, Ed Rampell, about this extraordinary event. Ed Rampell is a film historian, author and critic, and writer for Hollywood Progressive. For more information on the program, go to the Writers Guild Foundation website.
