Since everyone was scared of communism, Hollywood started making blacklists of people who weren't allowed to participate in movie making because it was feared that they would use the movies as a medium for spreading their ideological beliefs.
Blacklisting in Hollywood happened in the late 1930's but wasn't until 1947 that hearings were held to investigate Communism in Hollywood. Yes McCarthyism and blacklisting in Hollywood could happen again.
Frederick Douglass spent three days washing in the creek before he could leave for Baltimore because Mrs. Lucretia told him he had to clean himself up.
