The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) was responsible for investigating alleged disloyalty and subversive activities among private citizens, public employees, and organizations in the United States, particularly during the Cold War. It became well-known for its hearings on communist influence in the government, entertainment industry, and other sectors, often leading to blacklisting and significant reputational damage for those accused. The committee's actions were controversial and contributed to the broader climate of fear and suspicion during the Red Scare.
