jul 11, 1956 - Cole v. Young is decided by the Supreme Court

Description:

The Supreme Court's decision on this case repealed the employment ban on "radical sympathizers." This decision dealt a blow to McCarthyism. The Warren court's decisions and negative public opinion combined to bring about the downfall of McCarthyism. However, the Lavender Scare would continue long after.
