jun 19, 1953 - Rosenberg's Executed

Description:

The Rosenberg's were American citizens who were accused of spying for the soviets and were executed. This marks the beginning of a new red scare with a American populace more willing to act against communist threats. This shows the fear of the era and the power of propaganda. This is important to remember today because it was a sort of modern witch hunt, and I think it's important that we keep our heads so that such thing don't happen again.
