Between one and three million Uyghurs—of a population of 12 million—are currently in some form of detention\, and those who are not still face rapidly tightening control restricting their ability to express their identity.” – United States Holocaust Memorial Museum \nCampaign for Uyghurs works to promote and advocate for the human rights and democratic freedoms for the Uyghurs and other Turkic people in East Turkistan (referred to in China as “Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region”). It mobilizes individuals and the international community and builds bridges to take action on behalf of and to raise public awareness of the Uyghur issue with a special focus on Uyghur women and youth\, and to activate persons and entities to work together to stop the systematic human rights abuses against the people of East Turkistan.    \nThis event will be hosted in person.

In recent years\, the government has escalated a campaign of persecution and mass detention in a sprawling system of forced labor camps and prisons. Between one and three million Uyghurs—of a population of 12 million—are currently in some form of detention\, and those who are not still face rapidly tightening control restricting their ability to express their identity. – United States Holocaust Memorial Museum \nCampaign for Uyghurs works to promote and advocate for the human rights and democratic freedoms for the Uyghurs and other Turkic people in East Turkistan (referred to in China as “Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region”).

But while the famous question\, “Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?” resonated in the halls of Congress\, security officials were posing another question at least as frequently\, if more discreetly: “Information has come to the attention of the Civil Service Commission that you are a homosexual. What comment do you care to make?“ \nHistorian David K. Johnson relates the frightening\, untold story of how\, during the Cold War\, homosexuals were considered as dangerous a threat to national security as Communists. Charges that the Roosevelt and Truman administrations were havens for homosexuals proved a potent political weapon\, sparking a “Lavender Scare” more vehement and long-lasting than McCarthy’s Red Scare. Relying on newly declassified documents\, years of research in the records of the National Archives and the FBI\, and interviews with former civil servants\, Johnson recreates the vibrant gay subculture that flourished in New Deal-era Washington and takes us inside the security interrogation rooms where thousands of Americans were questioned about their sex lives. The homosexual purges ended promising careers\, ruined lives\, and pushed many to suicide. But\, as Johnson also shows\, the purges brought victims together to protest their treatment\, helping launch a new civil rights struggle. \nThe event will be hosted virtually.  Admission is free and open to the public. \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/the-lavender-scare-the-cold-war-persecution-of-gays-and-lesbians-in-the-federal-government/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Virtual Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/lavender_scare_for_web.png__1440x880_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220120T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220120T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T135513 CREATED:20230803T113830Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230803T113830Z UID:10000219-1642694400-1642698000@hmh.org SUMMARY:Storytime at HMH DESCRIPTION:Get kids ready to learn through reading\, writing\, listening\, singing\, playing\, and talking. Read a book with the librarian from the Boniuk Library Children’s collection and more!
