Kent Chronicles

This article explores the First Red Scare of the 1920s, the Palmer Raids, HUAC, and the Hollywood Ten, culminating in the cases of Alger Hiss and Senator Joseph McCarthy. It also highlights the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s, including landmark events such as Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which overturned Plessy v. Ferguson, the desegregation crisis in Little Rock, Arkansas (1957), and the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955). The lasting implications of these movements are crucial to understanding American history.
