This newsletter and newspaper, published by the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee, exposes the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) and its alleged involvement in a conspiracy to promote fascist thinking in the United States. The newsletter presents evidence that suggests the HUAC's connection to various hate groups and individuals with controversial ideologies. It highlights the scandalous attack on the National Council of Churches, the involvement of committee chairman Francis Walter and staff director Richard Arens in projects funded by Wycliffe Draper, a wealthy individual interested in proving the genetic inferiority of African Americans, and the alleged receipt of private funds by the HUAC. 3 pages. |
