The OLLI topic for these last 3 weeks of this session will be ''Blacklisting in the Red Scare Era.'' On Wednesday, April 10, local author and film guru Rick Winston will discuss how, in the late 1940's and 1950's, hundreds were forced from the film and television industries due to their political activities. This history will be accompanied by a number of film clips. Then for the following 2 Wednesdays, Rick will continue to explore the topic through the showing of full length films.
