- Abstract
The article discusses the legal challenge mounted by the U.S. organization known as the Independent Socialist League (ISL) against the U.S. Attorney General's List of Subversive Activities (AGLOSO) during the mid-20th century. According to the article, the ISL also challenged the list on behalf of its predecessor group, the Workers Party (WP), and its youth affiliate group, the Socialist Youth League (SYL). The article states that all three groups were led by organizer Max Shachtman. The article discusses the process by which the ISL challenged the AGLOSO. the AGLOSO's connection to what was known as the "Red Scare," and the departments of justice of former U.S. presidents Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower. It also discusses the 1951 U.S. Supreme Court case Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee v. McGrath.
