  • Reagan, Hollywood & the Red Scare
    Reagan, Hollywood & The Red Scare From the Archives brings primary source documents and exploration into the classroom. These educational resources, carefully curated by our Education team, are meant to enhance historical discussions around relevant topics of today in history, civics, geography, and economics. Overview: President Ronald Reagan was known as a staunch anti-communist. Many students are unaware that this reputation began years prior to President Reagan’s time in the White House. President Reagan began his anti- communist crusade as president, but not of the United States, instead it was the Screen Actors Guild of America. The attached documents highlight some of the members of the motion picture industry that were asked to testify before the committee, the perception of President Reagan that was held by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), and two selections from the testimony that President Reagan gave before the Committee in 1947. Suggested Classroom Activities: Have students look over the list of people that were subpoenaed to appear before the HUAC and see if there are any other names that they recognize (Primary Source A). Students should also read what the Committee was expecting from these witnesses. Next, have students read the internal Committee memo (Primary Source B) to see what the Committee thought about President Reagan prior to his testimony. Finally, have students read through one or both of the selections from the testimony of President Reagan before the HUAC. In the first selection (Primary Source C), students can read the testimony of both President Reagan as well as that of Walt Disney.
