McCarthy and the Old Woman
“Stand Up for what you believe. And it was never any effort for me when I felt I was right to stand up for what I thought and express myself. Instead of killing me it made me stronger. ” “I almost talked myself into jail.” …Florence Bean James, born 1892-died 1988 Now we know that beginning in 1950 Senator Joseph McCarthy charged every progressive person in New York, especially those in the entertainment industry, with contempt of congress. Now we know that from 1952-56 Dalton Trumbo and the Hollywood 10 were charged, fined, jailed, blacklisted, lost their careers and some their lives. Before all of that, in 1948, Florence Bean James was completely ruined by the Washington State Committee on un-American Activities. She escaped to Canada." -from publisher
