EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a significant moment in American history - the Hollywood Ten on their way to trial in 1950. The image showcases seven men, Samuel Ornitz, Ring Lardner Jr. , Albert Maltz, Alvah Bessie, Lester Cole, Herbert Biberman, and Edward Dmytrvk walking together with determination and resilience. These individuals were charged with contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with the House Un-American Activities Committee investigation into alleged Communist activities within the film industry. Their refusal to name names or betray their colleagues made them targets during a time of intense anti-Communist sentiment known as McCarthyism. The photo's mid-century aesthetic adds an air of authenticity to this historic moment. It serves as a reminder of the courage displayed by these writers and directors who stood up for their principles despite facing severe consequences such as being blacklisted from working in Hollywood. Capturing both strength and vulnerability, this image is a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who fought against injustice during one of America's darkest periods. It stands as a symbol of resistance against political persecution and an enduring reminder that freedom of speech should never be taken for granted. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this iconic piece from its collection, allowing us to reflect upon our past while appreciating the bravery exhibited by these members of the Hollywood Ten.
