Local History: Ku Klux Klan in NE in the 1920's, Tuesday October 22
Most New Englanders think of the Ku Klux Klan as a Southern institution targeting mainly African-Americans. But in the 1920s the Klan was nationwide and enjoyed strong support in the North and West, as well as the South. In addition to people of color, the 1920s Klan also targeted Catholics, Jews, immigrants, and organized labor. In his presentation, author David Vermette will explore the history of the so-called “Second Klan” of the 1920s focusing especially on the Klan’s New England chapters.
