Jan. 18, 1968: Eartha Kitt Spoke Truth at the White House When asked at a White House luncheon about “juvenile delinquency,” Eartha Kitt responded by talking about the root causes of rebellion, including the Vietnam War and the draft.

Already under CIA observiation for her community activism, Eartha Kitt was blacklisted in the U.S. for nearly a decade (1968–1978) after publicly criticizing the Vietnam War at a 1968 White House luncheon hosted by Lady Bird Johnson.

Kitt was forced to work in Europe and Asia during that time.
