SUMMARY:Red Scare in the Green Mountains
DESCRIPTION:DHS June 15 Third Thursday Lecture discusses Red Scare in the Green Mountains\, presented by Vermont Humanities speaker\, Rick Winston. \n \nThe Dorset Historical Society’s Third-Thursday Lunch-Lecture on June 15 will feature Vermont Humanities speaker\, Rick Winston.  Rick will talk about the Red Scare in the Green Mountains. \nWhat happened in Vermont when the anti-Communist fear known as the “Red Scare” swept the country? Quite a bit\, as it turns out. Rick Winston\, author of the recently published “Red Scare in the Green Mountains: Vermont in the McCarthy Era\,” explores some forgotten history as we see how a small\, rural “rock-ribbed Republican” state with a historically libertarian streak handled the hysteria of the time. \nThere were several fascinating stories in the Green Mountains\, including a high-profile academic firing\, a conservative senator who helped take down Joseph McCarthy\, controversies involving left-leaning summer residents\, and some veteran newspaper editors who spoke out against McCarthy’s tactics. \nRick Winston was the co-owner of Montpelier’s Savoy Theater for 29 years\, and was Programming Director for the Green Mountain Film Festival for 14 years. He has taught film history at Burlington College\, Community College of Vermont\, Goddard College\, and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute\, and has made presentations throughout Vermont on film history. \nDHS’s TTLLs begin at noon and last about an hour. Attendees are invited to bring some lunch; desserts and drinks will be provided. The event is free\, open to all and handicapped accessible. The Dorset Historical Society’s Bley House Museum is located on Route 30 at Kent Hill Road. For more information\, see https://dorsetvthistory.org or call (802) 867-0331. \n
