Summary
Focuses on the case of Carl Braden, a left-wing social justice activist and supporter of American racial integration, who was called before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1958 and charged with sedition. Argues that the 'un-American' platitude has been diverted to summarily resist social progress and racial integration, despite impinging on American citizens' First Amendment rights to free speech in the process.
