This article focuses on Anne Hall, a forty-six-year-old teacher in the second grade of the Center School, who had been called to testify before the Massachusetts Commission on Communism. She had freely admitted that she had been a member at the party between 1938 and 1950. Hale asked the School Committee to hold a public hearing on the charges against her, and it consented. She was charged specifically with having lied to the committee, in a sworn statement made to it, when she said she could not recall the existence of a state law, passed in 1949, which banned Communists from teaching in the public schools.
