John Howard Lawson (September 25, 1894 – August 11, 1977) was an American writer.〔Obituary ''Variety'', August 17, 1977, page 63.〕 He was for several years head of the Hollywood division of the Communist Party USA. He was also the organization's cultural manager and answered directly to V.J. Jerome, the Party's New York-based cultural chief. He was the first president of the Writers Guild of America, West after the Screen Writers Guild divided into two regional organizations. Lawson's enduring claim to fame comes not from his writing but from the fact that he was one of the members of the Hollywood Ten, the first group of American film industry professionals to be blacklisted during the Second Red Scare. ==Biography== Lawson was born in New York City, New York on September 25, 1894 to Simeon Levy and Belle Hart Lawson. His father would change their name from Levy to Lawson before Johnathon was born, his reason for which was so that his son could "obtain reservations at expensive resort hotels" 〔.〕 When he was five, his mother died. She had named her children after people she admired: John Howard Lawson was named after John Howard, his sister Adelaide Jaffery Lawson was named after a friend of hers who was socially active, and Wendell Holmes Lawson was named after Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
