Humanities include all those study disciplines that involve the human race but at the same time void of science or scientific origin. Most branches in literature, theology or philosophy studies lie under humanities. Theology and musical and visual arts are also studied in humanities. English among other languages form a strong basis in humanities as a medium of communication. The liberal studies as well as general human artistic works are all encompassed in humanities. This paper is a reflection on how humanity personalities like Jackson Pollock, the poets and beats of Kerouac and Ginsburg among others responded to the Red Scare which was associated with McCarthyism during the nineteen forties and fifties. This period was characterized by strong campaigns against communism which was emerging to be a serious threat in America. The United States of America passed an Act governing the registration of aliens on June 29th nineteen forty. This act illegalized any single individual in the United States to push for, encourage or tutor people on the need to topple a government. Equally stated in the legislation was that all foreign residents in the United States above fourteen years were supposed to file detailed documentation of their individual and work status and a written statement of their political ideologies. In a record time of less than five months, a whooping figure of four million, seven hundred and forty one thousand and nine hundred and seventy one non residents had been put on official register (Fried 165). The purpose of this registration was to demean the Communist Party in America as well as other small political groupings in the United States. McCarthyism referred to politically driven initiative aimed at accusing people of being traitors or subverting the government without clear proof procedures. This term was categorically associated with the political activities in the United States ranging from nineteen forties to nineteen fifties. It was referred to as the Second Red Scare and was full of fears on how far the Communist Party would affect the American institutions. This terminology is now used frequently to infer reckless behavior, charges which cannot be proved, and also demagogic insults on personalities (Fried 168). After the Second World War, many Americans were charged of either being communists or abetting communism. Several interrogations were carried out to establish the real culprits. Both the state government and private sector participated. Top in the list of suspects were the entertainment groups, government workers, teachers from different levels and human rights as well as trade union activists (Shrecker 119). There was a lot of credence given to mere guess on who were the real communist sympathizers. Much of the so called evidence was exaggerated and as a result there were massive job losses coupled with career damage and long jail terms. Senator McCarthy speeches and trial was a water shade in the field of American humanity. All levels were affected by his ideologies which gave rise to a lot of public debate in the United States. His profile rose steadily when he gave a moving speech on nineteenth February nineteen fifty. This was Lincoln’s Day. There were no audio records to his
