The film explores how the Red Scare, McCarthyism and blacklists intersected with post‑war African‑American activism for better roles on radio, television and stage. Beginning in Harlem, it examines Paul Robeson’s influence and the campaign against him, the roles of HUAC, J. Edgar Hoover and journalists like Ed Sullivan, and concludes with a tribute to Canada Lee. Interviews with participants such as Dick Campbell of the Rose McLendon Players and Frederick O’Neal of the American Negro Theatre illustrate how anti‑communism was used to uphold Jim Crow segregation.
