In 1947 on #ThisDayInHistory, the #HollywoodTen were cited for contempt of Congress by #HUAC and then blacklisted in the entertainment industry. The #HollywoodBlacklist grew in the following years, keeping known #leftists from writing, directing, or acting in Hollywood pictures.

The joke fell flat. Wasn’t they punishment enough?

Seriously, Hollywood may end up, at Trump and Carr’s direction, effectively blackballing any and all writers and production staff associated with #JimmieKimmel. Just as the #HollywoodTen were 75 years ago.

If the young readers in your life are concerned about current events, may I suggest The Loud Silence of Francine Green as a summer reading book? #historicalfiction #rumors #innuendo #HollywoodTen bit.ly/3pSUgud
