They should have been outed and named years ago but the next best time to do it is now.

Many of these people might be elderly now and many have probably also died. But the fact that their names would be released would show that many of them ended up working for universities, governments, corporations and businesses that went on to influence our politics and our democratic systems. Naming them all would show how pervasive their influence would have had on our country. Naming them would also ostracize anyone that would have been associated to any of them. Imagine the impact it would have on politics, businesses or individuals if we knew who they associated with or praised or held in high esteem. Hiding their names just masks the allegiances that supporters of far right ideologies have who are currently amongst us now. Those old fascist views are abhorrent and we should do our very best to expose those people who supported those ideologies and the people they influenced and the people that support them today.
