Joseph Raymond McCarthy (November 14, 1908 – May 2, 1957)
The U.S. Senate voted 65 to 22 to condemn Senator Joseph R.
McCarthy for conduct unbecoming of a senator. The action
which was equivalent to a censure, related to McCarthy’s
controversial investigation of suspected communists in the
U.S. government, military and civilian society.
What is known as “McCarthyism” began on February 9, 1950,
when McCarthy, a relatively obscure Republican senator from
Wisconsin, announced during a speech in Wheeling, West
Virginia, that he had in his possession a list of 205 communists
who had infiltrated the U.S. State Department.
In Montgomery, Alabama on December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was
jailed for refusing to give up her seat on a public bus to a white
man, a violation of the city’s racial segregation laws.
The successful Montgomery Bus Boycott, organized by a young
Baptist minister named Martin Luther King, Jr., followed Park’s
historic act of civil disobedience.
The restored Rosa Parks bus as it looks today in the Henry
Ford Museum.
