Thanks, Rick!

Thanks for offering this. Truly, one of those shameful times in history...

[Jim Robarts]

Thank you for the program.  It's always best to understand the terrible moments in history as a cautionary tale.

Rick -

My late grandfather was investigated by Joseph McCarthy's group because of his opposition to the segregation in Washington, DC.  Grandfather was an activist Episcopalian minister who said 'The true measure of a great nation is not how well we take care of the well-off; but how we help everyone to become better off.'. 

I was born there in 1955 a year after my grandfather's passing.  My late mother always told me that McCarthy's group really hurt him because he stood up against Communism but hated America's racism.  I am interested in this offering for personal reasons and I thank you so much for it.  It helps me to understand what many went through when 'labeled'.
