The hidden history of the Cold War-era Lavender Scare

Season 2024 Episode 183 | 7m 31s

On this final day of Pride Month, the next installment of our “Hidden Histories'' series isn’t about an individual, but a phenomenon: how the anti-communist paranoia that gripped Washington at the dawn of the Cold War led to an often-overlooked chapter in LGBTQ history. John Yang speaks with Marc Stein, a history professor at San Francisco State University, to learn more.
