For June's cultural outing, we will have a docent-led tour of the Capital Jewish Museum's special exhibit, "Blacklisted: An American Story," which explores the Hollywood blacklist and the federal government’s loyalty investigations that upended thousands of lives during the Red Scare. Through powerful personal stories, rare artifacts, and film clips, the exhibition reveals how fear, politics, and identity collided—and what was lost when dissent was silenced.

This timely exhibition explores the intersections of politics, antisemitism, freedom of speech, and national security during the Red Scare of the 1940s and 1950s. With the rise of the Cold War and global Communism, anxiety over Soviet infiltration fanned fears in the United States.
