Details

Some have said that Indiana in the 1920s was a Ku Klux Klan state. That is not true, because there were always Hoosiers who resisted the Klan. Join us for a thought-provoking evening exploring this resistance. James H. Madison, Indiana University History Professor and author of The Ku Klux Klan in the Heartland, will help us think about those who stood up against Klan bigotry directed toward Catholics, Jews, African Americans and immigrants. Courageous lawyers, journalists, clergy, politicians, and ordinary citizens spoke up and acted.
