In the 1947, members of the Screen Writers Guild (the predecessor organization to the Writers Guild of America) refused to answer questions before the [[House Unamerican Activities Committee]] and were sentenced for [[Contempt of Congress]] to one year in prison. In April 1997, the Writers Guild announced that it would restore credit on films to blacklisted writers despite the fact that many were members of the [[Communist Party]], and convicted criminals.
