Community Days: Blacklisted

The Capital Jewish Museum invites the public to experience its special exhibition *Blacklisted: An American Story* free of charge on Community Day, July 11, 2026. The entire museum—including all ongoing exhibitions and the featured special exhibition—will be open to everyone at no cost. This exhibition explores the Hollywood blacklist and the federal government’s loyalty investigations during the Red Scare, using personal stories, rare artifacts, film clips, and photography to examine how fear, politics, and identity collided. The Capital Jewish Museum’s presentation expands the original loan from Jewish Museum Milwaukee to include the Red Scare’s impact on federal employees in Washington, D.C. Community Day offers special access to this powerful exhibition along with the museum’s regular exhibits.
