Which organization put Robinson on the graylist?
FBI
CIA
Major Hollywood studios
The Actors Guild
Answer
Major Hollywood studios placed Robinson on the graylist, an unofficial blacklist that prevented him from working in the film industry for several years. This was due to his alleged communist sympathies and refusal to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) during the McCarthy era, a period of heightened political repression in the United States.
