Description

The term blacklist conjures the mid-20th century and Hollywood, but there have been blacklists throughout history, dating back to the 1700s when blacklists were used to prevent “suspicious” people from getting jobs. Since then, there’ve been many varieties of public and private blacklists, ways of forcing people out or keeping them from jobs, opportunities, access and/or security clearances. Join scholars and journalists to explore the uses of blacklists through time and their echoes in contemporary American life.

The Capital Jewish Museum explores the Jewish experience in the national capital region and inspires visitors to connect, reflect, and act—connect personally and collectively, reflect on the relevance of the past to today, and act on behalf of their communities and values. With its experimental spirit, the Museum connects the past to the present through thought-provoking exhibitions, dynamic programming, and creative public experiences. The Community Action Lab invites visitors to engage through hands on-activities, resources, workshops, games, and more.
