may 26, 1938 - HUAC Formed
Description:
The committee used its subpoena power as a weapon and called citizens to testify before Congress. They accused many of having ties with Communists who were infiltrating American institution and subversive acts by well-known citizens. HUAC's tactics contributed to the fear and distrust that existed during the anticommunist era of the 1950s.Added to timeline:
