America Since the Bomb: 13: Blacklisting on Trial

on Network Three

by John Henry Faulk
In 1956, John Henry Faulk was a popular performer on American radio and TV. After allegations had been made about his political views by a right-wing organisation, he found himself blacklisted by the entire radio industry. He instituted proceedings to clear his name and after a legal battle lasting six years was awarded a record sum in damages. His tight did much to expose the evils of the black-list in the American entertainment business.
