What was the purpose of this group?

The house un-American activities committee HUAC was created in 1938 to investigate alleged disloyalty and subversive actives on the part of private citizens public. employees and those organizations suspected of having communist ties. Reorganized from its previous incarnations, as the fish committee’s chairman the cantankerous martin dies Texas HUACs strident attracts on the Roosevelt administrations. prior to the outbreak of the war did not suit the political mood of a nation. That was largely in favor of the FDRs leadership. All that had changed n the postwar atmosphere of fear and contempt or the Soviet Union. Which the HUACs activities commanded broad popular support and consistently attracted major headlines.

 

In October 1947 10 members of the Hollywood film industry publicity denounced the tactics employed by the house un-American activities committee HUAC. An investigative committee of the US House of Representatives. During its probe of alleged communist influence in the American motion picture business.

This prominent screenwriter and directors who became known as the Hollywood ten Received jail sentences and were banned from working for the major Hollywood studios. Their defiant stands also debate over the controversial anti-communist crackdown that swept through the United States in the 1940s and early 1950s.

in the 1940s and 1950s why did the HUAC go after people who worked in Hollywood

Besides the Hollywood, ten other members of the film industry will be alleged communist ties were later banned from working for the big movie studios. The Hollywood blacklist came to an end in the 1960s. the house un-American activates committee was charged with investigating allegations of communist influence and subversion in the US During the early years of the cold war. Committee members quickly settled their gaze on the Hollywood film industry, which was seen as a hotbed of communist activity. This reputation originated in the 1930s when the economic difficulties of the great depression increased the appeal of the leftist organizations for many struggling actors and studio workers.

The person who has changed my life and others is Martin Luther king Jr.

The questions I have asked myself:

• What did martin Luther king Jr. do and how did he do it
• What did martin Luther king Jr. do for a living?
• Why do we have a holiday for martin Luther king Jr.?

The answers that I have found are:

1. Martin Luther king Jr. was the most important voice of the American civil rights movement which worked for equal rights for all races
2. Martin Luther king Jr. was a Baptist minister and social activist who played a key role in the American civil rights movement from the movement from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968
3. Martin Luther king day is a federal holiday held on the third Monday of January it celebrates the life and achievements of martin Luther king Jr. and influential civil rights leader

In Mr. Somers class we have been reading a story about a teacher who changed a student life. And that story inspired me to write about the great Martin Luther King Jr. He tried to change the world for the betterment of all people. He was a civil rights leader. He wanted everybody to be equal and together, not segregated. We are no longer segregated, and I’m not sure if what he did back in the early 1950s changed civil rights as much as we would’ve hoped. The reason I think Dr. Martin Luther King’s work has not greatly impacted race relations is because we still have to deal with everything that he tried to stop in the 1950s.

Racism, for instance, is still very much the same for example racist slurs etc. I would’ve thought that this would have stopped by 2017. I think that in this day and time it’s not as bad as it use to be, but it is still going on in the world. To me, I really feel like Caucasian people just feel like they are better then other races, especially African Americans. If a Caucasian person would go in to apply for a job, or for college, and an African American had the same qualifications the African American wouldn’t get that job or into the college they wanted. This may be simply because of the color of their skin. That is wrong! I feel like white people have a bigger advantage over black people.

I feel like some white people just get what they want without having to work as hard as an African Americans and other races. I just feel like if we all set aside the white and the black issue and just focus on what’s right; the world would be great again. We need to all unify to become as one and to be a strong nation. America shouldn’t be a divided nation.
