Red Scare

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were killed on this day, after what Jean-Paul Sartre called a 'legal lynching' Ethel and Julius Rosenberg in 1951, after being found guilty by a jury. Their sons, Michael and Robert, later established a foundation to support the children of targeted liberal activists.
