| Purpose of use |
This illustrates an important aspect of McCarthyism and the historically significant 1949 Smith Act trials of Communist Party leaders of Communist party leaders: the government threatened, and in some cases persecuted, defense attorneys representing Communists. The impact of this policy is conveyed, in a way that prose alone could not, by this photograph of the five Foley Square trial defense attorneys shortly after they were convicted. |
