  abstract = {<p>My research examines the case of Ruth W. Brown, long-time librarian of the Bartlesville, Oklahoma, Public Library, who was fired from her job in 1950 following charges by a citizens{\textquoteright} committee that she had "subversive" periodicals in the library, charges that masked actual concerns about Brown{\textquoteright}s personal views and professional actions concerning equal treatment of African-Americans. \&nbsp;To report on my research in progress, I will first give a brief account of the case and its significance to the library and information profession. Then I will recount for you where the research has taken me thus far, some discoveries I have made, some questions that keep arising, and where I go from here.</p>},
