Reds Practice Jim Crowism at Cleveland Hearings
Julia Brown, a Negro woman and former FBI undercover agent, testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee that U.S. Communists in Cleveland practiced Jim Crowism, preventing her from attending meetings in a segregated neighborhood. She said she joined the party in 1947 while intending to join Civil Rights Congress, quit in 1948, rejoined later for FBI reasons, and remained until moving to Los Angeles in 1960. She named several alleged party members, including Elizabeth Cooper and Foster McCurdy, while Merle McCurdy denied past membership and Kenneth Kennedy defended loyalty.
