Join Woolwich author and historian Alison Hepler on Zoom to learn about how she used archives and historical research methods to complete her 2018 book, McCarthyism in the Suburbs : Quakers, Communists, and the Children’s Librarian. Hepler’s study illustrates the impact of McCarthyism and anticommunism on small towns and “ordinary” people and offers important lessons on how fear and bravery operate in local communities against the backdrop of national events.
