Notes: The Jefferson School of Social Science was an adult education institution of the Communist Party USA located in New York City. Launched in 1944 it skewed more towards community outreach and education rather than the training of party functionaries and activists, as had been the primary mission of its predecessor. The Jefferson School was embroiled in controversy during the McCarthy period including a 1954 legal battle over the school's refusal to register as a so-called "Communist-controlled organization." With the Communist Party in membership decline and financial chaos, the Jefferson School was forced to close its doors in 1956 in the face of government pressure.
