"End Witch Hunts, Abolish HUAC," circa 1960
01
Artifact Overview
These poster stamps -- small postage stamp-sized labels -- called for the abolition of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). From 1938 to 1975, the committee was responsible for investigating alleged subversive activities by communists and fascists. The HUAC's tactics were often associated with political repression and unjust persecution, in what many called witch hunts reminiscent of the Salem Witch Trials.
