All Powers Necessary and Convenient
by Mark F. Jenkins
Category: Drama

A play first performed to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the hearings of the Canwell Committee in 1948 that purged the University of Washington of communists and any other unsanctioned political thought and activism. It was an early upper slope of the descent into the McCarthy era. Jenkins (drama, U. of Washington) includes a list of sources of information and suggested further reading.
