During the 1950s, a small-town librarian is shunned by the locals after she refuses the City Council’s request to remove a book on Communism from the library’s shelves. Storm Center is a 1956 American dramatic film starring Bette Davis and directed by Daniel Taradash. It was the first overtly anti-McCarthyism film produced in Hollywood and is loosely based on Ruth W. Brown, our own Bartlesville librarian who ran afoul of the local government and a major corporation.
Fran Stallings will follow up with facts about the real Bartlesville “storm” and Miss Ruth Brown.
