Pork Chop Gang, Part Two: THE SCARES
Content Warning: This episode includes conversations about racism and homophobia, and a brief mention of suicide.
For eleven years, the Johns Committee perpetuated a reign of terror across the state of Florida. With the Red Scare and the Lavender Scare, the lives of thousands of Floridians were affected, just as McCarthyism and segregation were dying out across the country.
