The Jewish Federation Connecting with Community presents "The Blacklist Dream" with Conrad Bromberg, actor, teacher and playwright.  Bromberg will feature his father's and his family's experience under the Hollywood blacklist of the 1940s and 1950s.  He will share some relevant anecdotes of FBI visits, being named as a Communist by his best friend to the House Un-American Activities Committee, firsthand moviedom gossip of stars and some lighter stories that reflect betrayal and other activities.

Come join us for these insights into when the First Amendment's right to privacy, freedom of speech, and freedom of thought were put on the line for many.

This free program is part of the Federation’s Connecting With Community Series.
