Scandalize My Name: Stories from the Blacklist(1998)

Scandalize My Name: Stories from the Blacklist is a documentary examining how the Red Scare and McCarthyism weaponized anti-Communism against African American performers fighting for better roles in radio, television, and theater. The film traces the campaign to destroy Paul Robeson, explores HUAC's reach and J. Edgar Hoover's tactics, and documents the collusion of journalists like Ed Sullivan in silencing Black artists. Set against the backdrop of post-war Harlem activism, it features firsthand accounts from theater pioneers Dick Campbell and Fredrick O'Neal, revealing how Cold War hysteria served as a tool to enforce Jim Crow and suppress Black advancement. A tribute to Canada Lee anchors the film's urgent reckoning with a suppressed chapter of American entertainment history.
