1. 1. American Scare

   

   American Scare by Robert W. Fieseler examines how a mid-20th-century Florida legislative investigation, the Johns Committee, targeted Black and queer citizens. Using newly available primary documents and focusing on cases such as Art Copleston’s coercive interrogation, the book details how the committee—led by politician Charley Johns—used legal and extra-legal means to intimidate NAACP members, professors, and students, and shows the personal and community harms that resulted while drawing connections to present-day issues.
