Ruth Brown

I am surprised that the article does not mention that the writers were inspired to write this movie after the real life firing of Ruth Brown from the Bartlesville Public Library supposedly because she allowed communist propaganda. Many of the details of Hull were taken from Brown though obviously there are embellishments. See The Dismissal of Miss Ruth Brown: Civil Rights, Censorship, and the American Library by Louise S. Robbins published in 2000 in Norman, Oklahoma by the University of Oklahoma Press. (Wikipedia lacks an article on Ruth Brown as well.) 68.97.23.26 (talk) 14:19, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

@68.97.23.26 yes, here we are over a decade later, and still nothing on her here. 2603:8000:8903:74FC:8D41:7B7D:A69C:AC7B (talk) 21:29, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

Does the book "The Communist Dream" exist?

The text informs about the book "The Communist Dream". Is it a real book? Google does not list it. If it does not exist the title should be removed or some comment eg. (nonexisting) (fictous) added. The context suggests that bad McCarthy persecutet sweet dreamers. Xx236 (talk) 10:13, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

• "Joy of reading" Communist propaganda. Xx236 (talk) 10:17, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
  • Obviously a reference to The Communist Manifesto. Espngeek (talk) 14:10, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

    "The Communist Dream" or "Joy of reading"? The real life accusation used a WW2 propaganda book, we do not know if the book was really in the library. Xx236 (talk) 08:44, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

    @Xx236 All this seems tempest in a teapot. 2603:8000:8903:74FC:8D41:7B7D:A69C:AC7B (talk) 21:23, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

"A strong stance against censorship"

Very good, but maybe you should mention that Communism means censorship. Xx236 (talk) 10:16, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
