Colorado people & places: Colorado’s Ignominious Days Under The Ku Klux Klan In-Person
"Our history is why we are here today" An important story about historic issues pertaining to the growth of Colorado, the United States’ 38th State. Colorado once had the second largest Ku Klux Klan membership of any state in the United States. The 1924 state elections brought a resurgence of the KKK’s power far west of its traditional concentration in the Deep South. A reinvigorated membership drive in the West revived a dying institution at a time when the KKK hadn’t even entered most Coloradoans’ thoughts, much less lives, for generations. How and why did this happen?
Presented by Sharon Danhauer, who has a passion for history, is a member of the Loveland Historical Society and several other historic-minded organizations.
