Joseph Mccarthy died in 1957, but the hunt for communists continued...
House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC or HCUA,[1] 1938–1975)
There was a lot of communist activity before and during the 1960s in Washington state...
I wonder if Stanley Dunham the dad was fired from his job for being a member of the Communist Party and advised to leave town...
He was a Kansas boy...
A big change to suddenly want to leave the mainland and go to Hawaii...
Also the folk who would become the Black Panthers were busy in Washington state...
