The Hollywood 10
The Hollywood Ten, or more correctly known as the entertainment industry ten, were ten entertainment industry persons who refused to speak about themselves or others when asked to. They were ten of the people who were sent to prison for a year each because of this rather than just being blacklisted like most of the rest. It was interesting the way this video showed that a lot of the them had wives and children. It makes the reality of how unfair it was more real to me. They shouldn't have been blacklisted and especially not imprisoned for being communists supporters and especially not just for being known for associating with them. The constitution says we are allowed to be supportive of whatever government we choose. I am not saying I agree with communism, but just the fact that we should have the right to be whatever we want.
