Priests of Our Democracy: The Supreme Court, Academic Freedom, and the
Anti-Communist Purge
Author: Marjorie Heins
Tuesday, February 12th, 2013 at 6:00PM
In the early 1950s, New York City's teachers and professors became the
targets of massive investigations into their political beliefs and
associations. Those who refused to cooperate in the questioning were
fired. Marjorie Heins will discuss New York's heresy hunt and the
battles over academic freedom on the campuses and in the courts. Marjorie
was a fellow at the Frederic Ewen Academic Freedom Center,
where she conducted much of her research.
The Tamiment Library is located at 70 Washington Square South on the 10th
Floor of Bobst Library (Between La Guardia Pl. and Greene St).
