The Skanner News - When Culture Was Cancelled: A New Play Brings the Past Forward
In 1950, the publication Red Channels blacklisted 151 of the most talented performing artists, writers, musicians, producers, directors and thinkers in America. Careers and lives were ruined and lost. Forty-one of those blacklisted were women. Five were women of color. Several listed on Red Channels were gay. A good number were Jewish. All were considered free-thinkers and made out to be enemies of the state. We know many of these names. We should know many more.
